I’ve owned since March 2018 and believe I’m the second owner (according to selling dealer in 2018). The car was a trade in and I took possession with approximately 63K miles. It’s been a fun weekend / project car but I don’t drive it enough to keep it. It needs a new home. Not cosmetically perfect, but mechanically sound and so much fun to drive!
