    Hi all,
    Just saying howdy. I've been looking for an efficient car to have as a loaner/run around town. Last night I picked up an 08 with 223K miles. It needs a few repairs (Air bag/VSC/ABS/TPMS lights are all on). Based on the codes I know the clock spring is likely the airbag, VSC/ABS is the right front wheel speed sensor. I still need to sort out the TPMS, but even if that doesn't happen I'm capable of using a tire pressure gauge. :)
    I also need to sort out why the smart key doesn't seem to have any effect: the door lock/unlock buttons don't do anything and the key must be in the dash to start the systems.
    But, the car runs/drives fine and if I get a year or two out of it then that's all I really need.
