I picked this up at auction for my son but he has decided he wants a 4WD truck. Minor dings & scrapes. Runs good, no unusual noises. Doesn't overheat. Oil looks fairly new. Appears to have new brakes all 4 wheels. Tires are good. New Kenwood MP3 stereo. Everything works, cold AC. Interior is decent. Shifts good, steers good, stops good. I have put about 150 miles on it since I got it so I know it runs good. I've cruised at 70-80 mph on the freeway and it does fine. All wheel drive Hi & Lo works fine. There is a small dent on the drivers side rear (see pics) that broke the marker light in the bumper and a scrape on the front of the pass side that broke the turn signal light. The repair estimate was $4800 so the insurance co. salvaged it. I replaced both lights. The only other issues I have found is sometimes you have to pull back a little on the shifter to start in park, or just start in neutral. The windshield has a crack down the center and the headliner is coming down a bit. Other than that I don't see any problems. Those are easy fixes but since we are not keeping it I'm not going to bother. Sold as is. This is a California vehicle and has all emissions controls required for Ca. registration. PLEASE NOTE: For Ca. residents this vehicle requires a safety inspection and emissions test prior to registration. Buyer is responsible for this. On Apr-03-13 at 19:33:13 PDT, seller added the following information: Although this vehicle runs great and I do not see why it would not pass the safety inspection and emissions test there is no guarantee made. Buyer is responsible for test costs and any related costs. If you want me to get this done add $500 to the purchase price. Otherwise this vehicle is sold as a project car. It is not currently registered. There are no back fees due. This is a salvage title and it has not been registered yet. Thank you.
