Ya it only has 35,000 miles on it so its still in pretty good shape, but some things may have started to deteriorate a bit considering low miles and nearly 10 years old. I don't really know a ton about what i can work on with it by myself, but i wont hesitate to try. its a learning experience and its a car i like to work on, so its win-win for me. btw. thanks for the quick warm welcomes
