I bought the car in 1994 with about 45k miles on the odometer. I am the third owner.

The car was originally sold in Oregon and has never been registered in any other state. It last passed smog check when I lived in the Portland area 12 years ago, they do not require smog check in the area I live in now. Do your due diligence for smog check in your area.
