Oh I've noticed the emissions standards, since I'm gonna be driving the car to British Columbia as a gift to my bro, I'm just assuming the emissions standard also makes the car slowER, am I wrong?
It is also regularly serviced, 30k beginning miles as a fleet car, I'm assuming that has something to do with the army or what, correct me if I'm wrong. Now has 85k clicks.
No recalls still require repair? Does that mean "No recalls, still require repair" or "No recalls still require repair?"
I want to know everything I can about this car, so it doesn't break down on my bro. Thanks, I know I can count on the g'crew
