It passed emissions every year (in Phoenix, then in Reno). Aftermarket exhaust headers kept it from passing the inspection portion of California emissions. The vehicle is in pretty good shape, but it does has some scratches, sun damage, little dents, and a little rust. Plus there's little body rattles and sounds that don't seem like a huge concern, but may require a little investigative work. And I never did get the SpiderTrax parking brake to be as "extremely powerful" as the company claims it can be. It's a unique and fun little 4x4 that's been good to me, but it will probably be best with someone who doesn't mind a little tinkering. There is no reserve on this auction.Test drives are welcome. Note: I mentioned in one of my question-answers that I've noticed it hesitating on acceleration when it's cold... I just wanted to add, that after I started driving it on a more regular basis, and after filling it up with a fresh tank of gas, the problem seems to have completely disappeared.
