Clean title? How's the interior? Seems like an alright price if it's in good condition and the title is clean.

That's a pretty decent deal.. Worth it if you plan on going hybrid.

Just remember when you want to swap, it is a little more expensive and more work for an automatic.

he isnt planning on getting a swap, i think the interior is alright but the front bumber is held on by a string so im guessing she hit something. i know i wouldnt buy it, especially because its not a stick.
