Very Roomy. Very Comfortable. Seats 7. One Bench seat in back, 4 Captains Chairs. 5 disc cd. Tow package, luggage rack. Purchased 6 years ago. Used as a family/go to work vehicle. Ran fine with normal maintenance, replaced throttle positioining sensor and exhaust manifold two years ago. Drove to Alabama a year and a half ago, ran fine, then started shifting hard shortly after getting back. Will not shift into drive. Had a mechanic check it out, and was told it needs a new "speed sensor". (Found online for between $56 - $125). Given the shifting issue, it is recommended to tow the vehicle if traveling more than a few miles for pick up. Was told the engine itself is in good condition and should last a long time. We no longer needed the vehicle as the kids are older, so it has sat for the past year. Passenger headlight is broken. Hatch latch is broken. Windshield has a crack, it was there when we bought it, does not impede line of vision. On Sep-03-10 at 19:20:49 PDT, seller added the following information:I've had a few questions asking to come out to change the speed sensor before the auction ends. I am not going to allow someone that I do not know to come take apart the vehicle. There has been a lot of interest on this listing, and I do not want to risk someone messing it up for a sincere buyer. I have no problem with a person coming to check it out before the auction ends, but there will be no tinkering with it. As with any auction, the vehicle is as is as sold, and the sale is final. I have been honest with what I know is wrong with the vehicle, but if someone were to mess with it before the listing, I could no longer represent the vehicle honestly. Thank you for understanding.
