Flex Fuel Vehicle

We are selling our family vehicle from the last 5 years. It has been incredibly reliable. We have had it in the shop(other than regular maintenance) only twice in 5 years. Once we had the water pump, serpentine belt, and alternator replaced. Recently we had the transmission and 4x4 fluids flushed and front right wheel bearings replaced. We have had the vehicle serviced at a local shop regularly. It drives great in the snow. It has great acceleration. I am absolutely not a car person, but it seems to shift smoothly. We are the 2nd owners of this vehicle. We are not smokers and don't believe it has ever been smoked in. I have trusted this vehicle for my wife to drive our 3 kids around for 5 years, and we have never been stranded. The brakes are good. Everything things smooth. The car will need new tires before too long. They should last through the winter. The interior doesn't have any rips on tears in the leather other than some cracking on the side of the driver's seat (I think you can see it in the pictures). All the seats are in solid shape. The carpet has some stains. The dash is in excellent shape. The stereo is great. All the speakers work. The rear DVD system works, and I have two wireless headphones for it. Everything works in the vehicle. I would rate the condition as fair. The interior is not perfect. There is some wear in the back two seats. The front seat interior is in great shape. There are some imperfections on the exterior. One small area looks like it was repainted, and there are a couple dents and scratches. The service engine light stays on even after the car has been serviced. When you start the vehicle, the check fuel cap message comes on even though it on securely. I have never tried connecting to the computer system and resetting it. That might fix it. I do not know. It hasn't been an issue. I am trying to disclose every imperfection that I can think of so that there won't be any surprises. It is a very solid and reliable car. We have taken very good care of it other than the wear and tear by three little kids riding in it. Please feel free to contact me with questions. I will gladly answer them. And you are welcome to come look at it before the auction end. I live around 15 miles south of Indianapolis. Deposit of $500 due within 48 hours of auction end (Paypal accepted) and remainder due within 7 days (cash or bank certified check). Thanks!
