This car's rpm's go to about 2000 when first started but go to 1000 after a few min. When you first put it in gear it kicks a little. During drive shifts smooth. Somebody said that bolts that hold the engine in place could be loose. It's very clean. If you know anything about cars you might be able to fix both problems very easy. I bought this car on auction for 3600 and I am selling it for 3600. No profit here. Great deal. When fixed this is a 7000 vehicle. Cash only
