I am selling this car for my sister who has sold her home in Hayward, WI and has moved to an assisted living facility in St. Paul, MN.
It is a one owner car as she and her husband bought it new. It was always stored inside and was well maintained.
The timing belt was replaced in 2009, according to her records. To add value to the car, new brake pads, rotor and rear linings were replaced this spring.
I haven't found any rust, but there are dings on the car. The tires have a lot of miles left in them yet.
Note that the car has a 5 speed manual transmission. It has an EPA of 31 City, 36 Highway.
My sister has kept the window sticker which gives a lot of info, such as: the engine has a block heater. The color is officially "Sunrise Red" and the interior is "Opal Grey Cloth". Of course it has air conditioning.
I would expect any buyer to personally inspect the car and arrange shipping. Payment should be by cash or cashiers check. Cashier's checks will be checked with issuing bank. Price is firm.
Feel free to ask any questions about the car.
On Aug-13-13 at 18:49:55 PDT, seller added the following information:A brake line was replaced, not the brake linings as I have indicated. Mechanic said rear brakes were in good condition.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.
