I had originally seen a car like the one I bought in our local library parking lot. I liked the pastel lime green color, the 6 cyl and auto, the glass rear quarter windows. Interior color was OK, the everything-is-electric was OK, but the wheels were wrong. They were the 5-spoke but the ones that looked like an erector set. The rear spoiler didn't do anything for me.
I found what I wanted on the Net (pic below) with the wheels I wanted. And windows, and engine & trans. I bought it and had it shipped from Indiana to western New York State. Kentucky car, 88K, pretty much rust free. Undercarriage has only wipe-off rust stains. My gripes are all personal preference; nothing mechanically wrong. Yet.
It's my third mid-life crisis buy (maybe fourth) and I'm way too old for something that even I admit is a 'college girl' ride. But I really like the profile.
