Never been in an accident.

Pictures of passenger side attached.

Are you seriously interested?

Didn't even noticed the light, but took a new picture this morning and the light wasn't on. Will have it checked out.

Thank you.

You are an idiot!!! In the 1st picture the engine was turned on (see idle speed at 1K rpm) and the engine light was on - indicator of some kind of problem, maybe minor/maybe major?
In the second picture the engine was n o t running and obviously no check engine light.
So before you start accusing other members of hate mail, get your facts straight.

Look at the gasoline in the second picture. I don't know if it's already or almost empty gasoline. I am not sure if the gasoline still indicates even the engine is turned off.

Whoa whoa there killer, I didn't know accusing your little buddy of being a hater will make you mad enough to call me an idiot. And calling someone a hater is w a y different than hate mail. Now I will go ahead and excuse that on your part because you are probably too old to realize that, and thats ok, its not your first mistake and won't be your last. I will now patiently await you or your forum buddy's eminent reply, simply because this is a forum with faceless posters and everyone is braver on the internet, and then I will go ahead and let this little "hater/idiot" issue die off and let the OP go on with the sale thread.

Damn, this is a pretty good price.
At first I thought you were located in Los Angelos (CA)!
But you're actually across the CONUS..

But to be honest:

That first post, with the engine idle speed ~1k, and the Check Engine light on does pose some caution to potential buyers.

Maybe a little more history or newer pictures could better explain the car's condition.
Wheels look aftermarket, what happened to the OEM set?

Would you mind posting/sending me the VIN so I can check the service history/Carfax etc. at the dealership? We may be interested.

Still have the OEM.

I was considering selling the stock separately, but I may include them with the car for seriously considerations. I will take some pics and post soon!

I'm concerned about the check engine light; can you shed some light on this?
