History - I am the third owner of this vehicle, and I have only had it for six months. The previous owner, who is also a friend of mine only drove the car once, literally. He bought the car from a couple in Chicago and drove the car from Chicago to Dallas area German import repair shop. He took the car to the shop to have upgrades and part replacement and was going to give the car to his wife, but never did. From 2012 to 2016 another friend of mine who owns the same foreign import repair shop drove the car 6 miles a day round-trip to work and back. The previous owner before that was a couple in Chicago, and from what I understand his wife also drove the car short distance to and from work which accounts for the relatively low mileage. They appear to of taken an extremely good care of the car. This car has not been involved in any accidents. Right front fender was replaced due to minor damage when a pole fell on it at a repair shop last year. If I have not been told about the right front center being replaced, I would not of noticed it. The car has been garage kept for the past five years. I am unclear if it was garage kept in Chicago, but I would have to assume it was since the paint and the car in general is in such nice condition inside and out.
