NMNA - a friend of a friend is selling this. I know *nothing* about this car, but I said I'd post it up here, so I am. It's local to me, so I can get eyes on it. This is what sunlight does to black cars that aren't garaged down here.

She’s not exactly a looker, but she’s reliable. For almost 14 years—and about 149k miles—I’ve relied on this car to get me where I need to be.
With 179k all in, it still runs great with no issues at all. In the past two years, now that I’m working from home, we’ve traveled only about 4k miles. Prior to that, it was my daily driver for 11 years—so most of her miles are highway ones. It has a clean title and in-hand. And, I can provide a CarFax if needed. I also have many stock parts that will come with the sale if you want them. More info below—happy to answer questions if you have some.
