Everything I can think of:
*******************
Bought from orig owner, a city cop, about 3 years ago. He must have parked it in a small crowded lot, so there are some dings. CEL on. needs starting fluid to start on very cold days, but then runs great, so there's some kind of cold-enrichment issue. On warmer days it starts fine; we replaced the temp sensor but that's not it, or the sensor wasn't a good one. Recently, the idler pulley for the Alternator/Pwr steering froze. I have a new pulley and belt but have not installed them, too cold out. You can drive it (car is currently registered and current with pollution inspection), but no of course no p/s or alternator charging. When it gets warmer I'll put them on.

Original wheels were thrown out when my son bought the Lexus 18". They look really nice (some edge damage courtesy of being a teenager), but I had to take out the fender liners for clearance (wheels don't rub on the fenders themselves). Exhaust has some leakage at joints, I used muffler cement but it periodically comes out, and I haven't bothered to redo it in the cold, so it's a little noisy (mufflers, cats and pipes are good). It has a very strong motor, and a good tranny. The wheels look really sharp. Climate control heats and cools great, works perfectly. Hood and trunk struts are of the "watch your head" functionality. No rust that I can see. No accidents that I can tell - certainly none since we've owned it. The shoulder belt for the driver started not moving sometimes beginning last year; now it seems to have stopped altogether. I downloaded the troubleshooting files but haven't looked at it. Bottom line: Basically a nice but surplus car, and I can't summon the interest to give it the attention it deserves while it's winter, plus it's taking up valuable driveway real estate. The kids have moved on to SUV's (what do they know?). I put a picture of it in the member galleries.

Asking price: $1,695.00. I am going to sell this car. The only question is how much and when.
