Ram man, few questions... are you buying from owner or a dealer? Trim level? rust? 2 door, 4 door?
can't speak from experience but in regards to space, you will not be driving a basketball team around or moving washers and dryers. one owner tells me a responsible owner, musta liked car he kept it longer than most people. since you are here at bitog, you can handle any problems a used car throws at you. save some money too.
car is 10 years old, stuff is gonna wear out... If this car was located here in the northeast, it would be ready for scrap with the winter and salt...
Car sounds pretty good to me, play around with the shocks, some good rubber and a real nice handler... would be fun to drive. depending on the price, sounds like a good "project" would like to see some pics.
keep us informed.
