I really liked working with the owner of this vehicle, and I will totally rent this car or another one of his cars again.. He was quick to respond and gave good information. The pickup location was easy to find and in a safe location. The car itself was great. I didn’t have any problems with it and it was fun to drive for its age. It did great in the rain and snow with its AWD. Like other reviews have mentioned, yes the brakes do squeak but only until they get warmed up and then they stop squeaking. Typically squeaking would stop within five minutes of driving. I did not find anything mechanically wrong with the brakes or the car itself.
