Vehicle looks brand new and we took great care to make the motor compartment look neat and clean. everything is accessible and easy to maintain. Sold some engine items on e-bay and recouped about $200.00 I am driving it everyday to work, around town and home without any problems. Getting a lot of lookers! Gas is over $2.00 a gallon and going up!
