OK, I lied. My wife and I have no kids, so my mother-in-law wasn't a grandma. (But she could have been....) We inherited it from her - she inherited it from her sister, who passed three years ago. Other than a few parking lot scrapes on the bumpers and a couple of minor stains on one of the rear floor mats, it's pristine. My wife's aunt kept it scrupulously maintained, as did my mother-in-law. Neither of them ever drove it much, which accounts for the low miles. The car is loaded - I think it has just about every option Toyota offered for this model including 6-way power seats. It rides very smoothly, a bit like my old Caddy Seville, and the 3-liter V6 has plenty of juice. It still gets 25+ mpg on the highway, too. To be honest, if I didn't need my pickup for work, I'd be selling it and keeping this one for myself. As to selling it: I don't want to have to arrange for shipping, so you'll have to pick it up here in Berkeley. I will accept cash or a certified cashier's check.
