Great car in excellent condition.

Very easy transaction. There were some paint chips on the hood. I asked them to re-paint the hood, which they did a few weeks after the purchase. car looks beautiful.

Pros

  • Ride and Handling: the car drives very smoothly

  • Dashboard: I wish the gas gauge was a different color so it would be easier to read.
