2007 is a great car... Don't worry about that. At that mileage there may be some maintenance issues to deal with but the price seems low enough to allow for that... in my opinion.

Thanks Whopper, for taking the time to give me your opinion.
I'm doubtful on the warranty, too.

Thanks OldBlue, for telling me I was hoping you would.
Because of you, Whopper and Greybeard999 all responding (I know all 3 of you would tell me if it is a bad idea) and taking the time to give me your opinions, I called the dealer and he's bring it to WI today for me to test drive it.
Thanks so much for the encouragement.
It also has a free Carfax online and it looks like the original owner took great care of it for over 8 years. He also had the ignition taken care of. That's the one thing that stands out to me, by almost everyone on this board commenting on.
I couldn't find much at all about the 2nd owner getting any work done on it. Not even an oil change. But he may have done all his own work or took it to a small garage. It appears he put about 20k on it.
Thanks everyone, and anyone else is welcome to jump in here, too.
Maybe I'll belong here for real in a few days,
:) Sher

First off, that is a 1LT, so the 2.2 was standard. 2.4 was an option.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the 2.4 have VVT on the engine cover? I don't see that here.

It's clearly an auto, but they are listing the final drive ratio as 4.17, which was the final drive ratio for the 5 speed. The auto had a 3.91 for the 06 and I believe the 07 model. I think it 08 it raised to a somewhere in the 3.3 range.

The grill looks like it has the satin finish, standard on the 1LT. But the rest looks like the bright chrome (optional on the 1LT). That might just be the light reflection on the grill. With leather it "should" have the bright package.

Please remove those silver vent visors......

But I looks like a clean rig. If maintenance was kept up it should last you a long time.

The muffler is a dead giveaway that it is a 2.2

Also, I do not think that is the correct VIN for the vehicle; doesnt the option code "P" indicate a 2.4?
