I put original owner but i purchased it certified pre-owned. It only had 1100 miles on it.
I think it would be safe to say i am the original owner that treated it with love and care.

2nd owner 04 LY GT, bought it 7-12 with 18500 miles.
Over 30k now, one of the best decisions I ever made.
I used to like to drive my 4X4 when it snows, now I'm sad when I have to.
Love my 8.
Lovin every minute of it.

Original Owner WWP 05 MT
90k+ KM's
Not a daily driver.
Currently dissembled in my garage, likely to remain that way for sometime.

Edit:
It's been a really fun car, however I would be lying if I said the lack of torque and horsepower didn't ******* **** me off at times.

Smile Original Owner

Bought my first Base model in AZ tried to register in CA that was a no go for emissions, gave it back to the dealer. So ended up buying a blue 05 Sport model in April 06. It's my wife's semi daily driver and has 56K on it, I drive spirited when she lets me have the keys, funniest car I have ever driven.

2005 whitewater Pearl

Purchase 2005 in July of that year. 45,000 miles, driven every day, snow tires & rims in winter. I love this car. would like to find a 2009 in white with low miles. does not look like a new one will be out soon...but I am still hoping.
