Thanks. Someone needs to buy this car before I change my mind about selling it.

Picked the car up from the shop today for an oil change, coolant exchange, and brake fluid change. Mechanic visually inspected the cooling system and found no leaks from the water pump and all coolant hoses are in good shape. I also snapped a bunch of pictures of the underside while they had it up on the lift. It looks pretty clean underneath. I can send pictures to any serious buyers. 

Miles now show 199,088.
