I'm the second owner. I bought it in 1990 with 36k miles. It's garage kept, stone stock. All maintence has been done by me. It's not driven daily -avg 8k a year. Only recent work was an oil change the first of Dec. Last major service was first head gasket & 3rd timing belt around 180k in 2008. Car currently has 197k. Paint still shiny except on bumber covers & mirrors, cloth interior still looks new, some minor wear on the leather trim pieces, wheel, shifter armrest/console cover. Everything works well ('cept the lack of starting for the last 3 days) even the struts on the hood & hatch hold proudly. No leaks squeaks or rattles, everything tight & right.

Hope that helps as far as story & condition of the car. I probably need to replace the tires, good tread but starting to crack on the carcass from age. Toyo Proxies from around '03 or 04.
