This is a Florida car that has seen almost no snow and there is NO rust. It's been very reliable but my wife has a newer one so this one has to go. The tires are excellent and everything works as delivered except the bluetooth function of the radio. Except for routine maintenance (tires, battery, etc) there have been only two out of the ordinary items replaced -- the left rear wheel bearing assembly and one of the right front suspension links. Brake pads and rotors were replaced 15,000 miles ago. I am the original owner and the car has never been in an accident.
