Clear

Available: Drive away. Running SUV located in Eastern Pennsylvania. High Mileage. It does run well. I could not find any obvious problems. 4WD is working. I don't know much about this car. The previous owner declined to repair muffler and ball joints on it. I suspect this is an excellent value for somebody looking for a winter beater that gets parked during good weather. I tested it around the parking lot and up on jack stands. I do not have plates on it to test drive it, so this is what I can tell you: 1) The transmission shifted into every gear including reverse. 4wd works. 2) the V6 engine starts right up and made no odd noises. 3) The exhaust leaks around the muffler area. 4) Engine light is OFF, idled for about an hour during my tests. Note battery had been removed. 5). No heavy active leaks noted, but evidence past/current oil leaks as would be expected from a car this old. 6) Heat worked great. A/C probably not working but hard to tell. 7) Clunking from front end (ball joints likely) 8) Passenger CV boot leaking grease. 9). Coolant Dirty. 10) Rear brakes noisy. 11) Idled for 1 hour and temperature guage stays midway, does not get hot. Fan comes on and off. 12).Lighting all works. 13) At least 2 tires are old and need replaced. 14) Windshield looks good. 15) See rust holes in fenders. While I have made every effort to test out and report about this truck, this item is to be sold as-is, no returns. By bidding on this item you are absorbing the risk of a sight- unseen purchase in exchange for a low price. The choice is yours. Feel free to send in any questions if you would like me to test out some item.
