I'd like to trade this car for a "1st Generation 4Runner".....or sell it out right...I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANY OTHER POSSIBLE TRADES...please. I've had the car about 3-4 years....my back and forth to work car...when I bought it, it had just received a new clutch. After I purchased it, I put new rotors and brakes on all fours, replaced the water pump/serpentine belt and tensioner, plugs and plug wires, black leather center consel lid, replaced the front tires (have since been replaced again), and intalled an AWE all-stainless catback exhaust, K&N filter intake (I think it is K&N but not sure....I just bought what "German Autoparts" supplied.....The car was inspected and passed in September 2013 after replacing the catalytic converter (cost me $1000). I have put several thousand dollars into the car and I know that some of it was maintenance but it currently has just over 166,000 miles and runs and sounds great. The windows are tinted and it looks really AWESOME but the passenger window just started peeling ($25 dollar fix-see photo). It has the 2.8L VR6 with a 5 speed manual. It's all black leather inside...no tears in the leather or the dash, however, the driver side seat back seam needs to be restitched about 3 inch length. This can be easily fixed but I just don't have the time. Windshield does have a crack in it about eight inches long on the passengers side but has not moved in the last 3 years that I've had it and the center counsel serving the back seat area has one missing endcap. It's a pretty car and sounds great...but I need a truck....I don't see many of these on the road...black on black with every option available for the GTI-GLX including sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise, tilt, all leather, stock fog lights and heated front seats. Everything works and it drives great. The engine light goes off and on for some reason ...I'm fairly certain that it's because the air intake hose is not completely sealed around the intake...I've tried wrestling with it but it tires me out...I posted a picture (today, April 21, 2014) as I just left work showing a pic of the dash with the light off!) I also posted a pic of the engine that I forgot to post initially...it runs like a race car and I've already replaced the catalytic coverter so I know it's not a high dollar item. Let me know what you would like to know about the car....I'll do my best to answer any questions. Thanks for looking!
