Vehicle Detail

Ok.... There is alot to tell so I will keep it as short as possible. I bought this truck a year ago and wasnt really looking to get rid of it, but my parents have come into some financial difficulties and so I am selling my truck to buy their truck and help them out a little. Now..... about the truck... Overall, this is a great truck and runs strong but, it does have some problems. They are minor problems, but there are a FEW of them. On the outside.... The Ram emblem on the passenger side looks like it has gotten some water inside it somehow...?? Not too big of a deal. On the driver door around the handle the door has quite a few little pit marks. Not sure what these are from, but the paint is not chipping so that is good. The major issue with the body, is the mark on the hood. Not sure what happened here either, but I do know that it was taken somewhere to have a clear coat applied to stop the paint from peeling anymore. It probably needs another coat because it is starting to come up a little bit. On the inside.... The carpet is not perfectly clean but there are no major stains in it. The floor mat in the rear has a stain (not sure if it will come out) but it can be removed if you dont like it. The passenger seat has a small tear, but other than that, all the fabric is good. The front dash piece on top has a crack in the middle. The sunglass case in the top had the latch broken off at some point. I noticed it when I looked at the truck the first time and was planning on replacing it.....but.... The crappy little dealership I bought it from glued it shut before I got back to pick it up. One of the little hanger things above the back window is missing but I think they are only a few dollars to replace here on ebay. Now.... the 2 major things. As you can see in the picture, the check engine light is on and the gauge shows no oil pressure. I had autozone run a diagnostic and they said the check engine light is being triggered by the emission system, not sure what it is tho. As for the oil pressure, I had a mechanic put a manual gauge on the engine and it has near perfect pressure. I was told that the problem is the pressure switch or sending unit (whatever it is called) in the dash and the whole dash has to be removed and sent to the dealership for it to be fixed. The truck has never tried to overheat, so as long as the engine is taken care of, this shouldnt ever really be a problem. The rear tires have good tread on them, but the front have been on there since before I bought the truck and are a little noisy going down the road. There is also a slight exhaust leak. It seems like a lot, but like I said, it is mostly minor stuff. I probably just ruined any chance of a sale, but I didnt want to sugar coat anything. I have given all the history I know about the truck, and despite the bad things, It is great! It still has all the power you would expect from a hemi. It never misses a beat. The air is cold, the infinity sound system is awesome, and the seats are the kind that you just sort of sink into. I love them. The middle console has lots of storage space, and the storage under the rear seats is alot bigger than you would think too. To the right person, who can give this truck the little TLC that it needs, that I havent been able to aford it, this will make an awesome truck. Im sure it has at least another 100,000 miles to go. If you have any questions that I havent answered, want some pictures I didnt take, maybe a video of the gauges while driving to prove it doesnt heat up, or whatever.... Dont hesitate to let me know.
