I bought this for my winter car. It had been parked since 2007. I put four brand new snow tires (155/80/13) on it, had the timing belt changed, and replaced the windshield. It has a recent O2 sensor and brakes (I am guessing they were done before it got parked). 1.0L, 5 speed, owners manuals in the glovebox, manual steering, radio delete car. Original paint is nice except where some idiot keyed it on the drivers side. No accidents, no rust. Has 119,200 KMs (74070 miles) on it now, just came back from a 1080 KM round trip through the mountains. This car laughs at the snowy hills with those skinny tires and 4:30 final drive. It's for sale because I always wanted to try a nice Suzuki/clone out, and to be honest, I like my Hondas better. Civic wagons aren't for everyone, and neither are these cars, but if you like the Suzuki clones this is a nice example of one. And yes I realize I haven't actually managed to pull 40 MPGs out of it yet but I didn't want the ad to read "Get 39+ MPGs!"

*Turns out Craigslist up here got hacked, hence the weird error message*
