This SUV has about everything in it, it is the luxury edition, like the Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition. This car has automatic transmission, all leather seats and interior, cold A/C, a 6 CD Sony player in the center console, a sunroof/moon roof (the top panel slides automatically, and also can be clear see-through or not), automatic locks and windows, and has the full towing package and is set up for towing. It has a new battery, new tires, a spare, and new front brakes (rear ones about a year old). There are front and rear controls for the music system. It will tell you what direction you are going, gas mileage, how much gas is left and how far you can go on what is left, and much more. I have clean title in my name and there are no liens. Registration is current until December 2011. Never had a smog problem that I know of, always passed inspections, including one less than a year ago. The car has not been in any accidents to my knowledge, except for a fairly small one (not reported to police or my insurance) on the right front side where the bumper and side panel have some damage. Also, while backing up a few feet, I recently broke the left tail-lite cover (light still works). About $75 or less online for cover replacement. Also, the right passenger mirror is cracked/broken, and doesn't turn automatically. About another $75 or less online for the replacement part. Finally, driver's side outside door handle is broken, there but doesn't work, about $40 or less online to replace it. The car has about 171,000 miles on it. It is a powerful V8 engine and I believe all wheel drive (or 4 wheel?). It still gets about 13 miles per gallon in the city, and about 20 or more on the highway. It comfortably seats 5 people, and has a large cargo area. There are a few other minor dents and scrapes, etc. on the outside, including a molding that sticks out, and some minor bumper and panel damage. Paint does not look new. If you want a car that looks great on the outside, this is probably not it, though no major problems cosmetically. Lately the car has been overheating when I drive it too far. I don't know what the problem is, need to keep water in it and not drive too far, or pull over if it overheats. It could be $ 100 fix online depending on what the problem is, could need new thermostat, etc. really not sure. Engine is a little noisy, running a little rough. Check engine light comes on. No emergency parking break and car will roll very slowly if parked on an incline or decline, so I just turn the wheels to the curb, or use a brick under tire if on a hill. Alignment is off, causing some tire replacement issue on front right side. All oil, etc. was changed recently, but could be due again or soon. I reserve the right to sell the car privately before the auction ends. Thank you.
