The car was bought new, by me, in 1996 from Gentile Toyota in Racine, WI and we've owned it as our family car ever since!  It's been our workhorse for years and we're ready to pass it on to it's next owner.  I'll give you the good the bad and the ugly.  Always been garage kept, no accidents, no major repairs.  Brake replacement 2 years ago is most major repair!  Newer tires, replaced within last 1 1/2 years.  Collectors edition, it's a nice green color.  Has the premium sound, towing package, roof rack.   Here's what's wrong with her: First, the electric antenna doesn't go up.  The FM reception is still good but the AM isn't so hot.  We don't listen to AM, so that stayed as is.  The check engine light on for 4 years.  The dealer told us it has something to do with faulty emission gauge; not emissions, just the gauge.  It passed all the emissions tests with the light on, so... we left it! Driver side window gets briefly stuck when rolled all the way down.  Always rolls back up after a few tries, it looks like it needs grease.  There's some light rust on running boards commensurate with a truck this age.  The engine has a slight oil leak and burns a fair amount of oil. The steering wheel cover worn on top (nickel size), and the driver sun visor needs to be held up; we've been using velcro fine.  Oh and one of the third row seats bracket is loose.  Still fully functional, but you could tighten it if you want to. The car is available for anyone to come and check it out!  It's located in Highland Park, IL, just north of Chicago.  Please come look at it BEFORE the auction ends, because all bids are binding, and I'm selling it as is... we just bought a new car and need this girl gone!  This auction is NO RESERVE, and I won't remove it early, we're going to keep everything fair here.  Good luck!
