Looks pretty good. Interior was reupholstered sometime around 2008 and repainted from white to blue. Seems like it was last sold in 2013 for $6500 according to this

He is asking $8000 but I'm thinking I should try for $6000. Can someone run the VIN for me? 1yy22p5t5101875

I would be very wary of that car. The 2013 ad shows that a mechanic was throwing parts at it, trying to fix a misfire condition. The current ad shows that he put a new Opti on it, just 2 years after the previous owner put an opti in. On top of that, it's only been driven 5K miles in 3 years. That scares me.

The 137K, combined with the miles, the automatic, and the fact that it's not originally blue, I would be looking at $4k.

^^ I agree. Sounds like the typical CL car to A-V-O-I-D. At almost any price. A true potential money pit unless you are a good mechanic that doesn't need to go to repair shops.
