Current Conditon: There are no warnings via dash warning lights. It starts and stops every time, with no complaining.  It passes Hamilton  County, TN, emissions. There are no notable irregular driving characteristics. Please see detailed pictures,  below, for up-close detail. The following items are noteable: I've never had any floormats for it and there's no owner's manual The spare "cradle" under the bed is gone, spare now sits in the bed The bedliner is sprayed-on, and could use another coat (see pics) The tires are pretty old, but wearing evenly. The front bumper is especially dented Fluids are fresh all around and it is ready to hop in and drive.  It doesn't leak or use any fluids.  Most of the regular  maintenance items are less than a year old including the water pump, belt, tensioner, pulley, power steering pump, and  alternator.

You can also call and leave a detailed message and I will  return your call.  If you email me  through eBay I may or may not get the message because of email spam filters. Do you have a car you want to switch with  me? I'll trade for a diesel or perhaps a 4-cylinder BMW. Contact me before the auction ends. Please, no  projects.

Shipping Shipping is solely the financial and logistical responsibility of the buyer. I am available to meet the shipper and  help load in Chattanooga. If  shipping via DAS I can drop the truck at the local DAS delivery point for free, which is about 10 miles from my house.  I can also recommend a local auto  shipper who is in the Chattanooga area and ships anywhere on the eastern seaboard. I can also recommend uship.com,  which I have used a few times.  I will not release the truck to any 'drive-away' 3rd party shipping service. In-Person Pick-Up If you're driving it away from Chattanooga you must have your own temporary tag and insurance. I can't provide you a  temporary tag and the state of TN  requries me to keep my tag. If you're flying or driving into town there are a few cheap ways to get here.  There is a  $38 hourly van shuttle from both  the Atlanta and Nashville airports into Chattanooga; I can pick you up at the van terminal in Chattanooga. There are  cheap airlines which fly into both  Atlanta and Nashville. There are also Budget and Avis rental car drop-offs in Chattanooga and I'll be happy to pick you  up from the car rental area at  the airport, as well. If you're flying into Chattanooga the cheapest airlines are USAir, Delta, and Allegiant.
