second gear start is a feature made for winter or poor traction conditions. from a dead stop it leaves the tranny in 2nd gear so there is less torque for less wheel spin. helps a lot if your heavy on the gas
. and the problem with kbb is it tells me about what its worth. but there are some new parts on it and i know im not going the full amount back but some back would be nice. Ive seen people sell 95 models with close to 200,000 miles for around 1200 with the same rust as mine.
