Look at the date codes on the tires....more than 5 or 6 years old and you will want to change them. Ignore that they "have full tread", that is not the issue. Ask Paul Walker.......

Third owner and 1800 miles? We see this often and the usual causes are:
1) Owner scared himself and therefor didn't drive it
2) Car was never properly built out and doesn't work right (overheats, won't shift, etc.)
3) Owner was a bench racer and just liked looking at/owning the car. Driving was not a priority

If you need any help, tech info or parts we will be glad to help.
