GarageScout Take
Original-owner California history runs through 2024, with the five-speed Tiptronic transaxle replaced in August 2026 using a used unit and a Precision of New Hampton torque converter. An engine-out timing-belt service in 2026 included replacement of the water pump, valve-cover gaskets, and exhaust-manifold gaskets. It was previously listed on Bring a Trailer in August 2026, where it sold for $17,000.
Strengths
- Original-owner provenance
- Documented major drivetrain service
- Timing-belt service with water pump replacement
Watch For
- Carfax entry for minor left-side damage in November 2013
- Sagging headliner
