She looks like hell, runs like a dream.

This car was previously owned by a mechanic. I don't drive it much, but when I do she purrs. All she needs is some new tires and a tune up. I've had this car for almost 3 years and she has never let me down. Engine is clean, and when she idles she hums.

Just purchased for my college daughter - 150K miles - $4,250. Such a solid car. Very quiet, extra roomy, powerful V-6. As others have noted, it has suspension issues, sounds like a bucket of bolts on rough roads. Going in for suspension overhaul next week, should be set for another 100,000 miles. Little to no rust. Love the car! My wife and I own an '02 Avalon, so I was very happy to find a family-owned used one for my kid.
