This is a low mileage example with less than 7,800 actual miles. The current owner purchased the car in 2010 with 6,400 miles from the first owners who had taken remarkably good care of it. The car was delivered to an Orlando, Florida dealership where it spent almost all of its first five years with the first owners. The throttle position sensor and accelerator position sensor were replaced recently as was the oil, filter and battery, the rest of the car is original.
