Paypal allows up to $2000 to be paid on a vehicle if you wish to go that route. If you would like the Carfax I will be glad to email it to you as there was no way for me to load it into the auction. Additional photos too if you want them. There are no fees besides the winning auction price. My feedback is 100% so you may bid with confidence $100 due within 72 hours of end of auction is negotiable. Nice overall condition, but engine has developed a "knock". Still starts right up and runs and drives well, but with some vibration while accelerating with a much lesser amount while driving. The knock developed 2 months ago, about 200 miles from my home and I drove it back with no problems. It still got close to the 20 mpg it always has gotten on the highway since I've owned it. I still drive it around town once in a while and the knock is not any worse than when it first developed, but I would guess this needs to be fixed, at the very least with a rebuild of the top end of the engine. Paint still shines and the vehicle shows especially nicely with the chrome package. Overall condition is good with some small dings and scratches overall and a light crease in the left rear quarter above the wheel well. Door trim has little parking lot chips. The right front of the top plastic above the chrome bumper has some deep scratches.The windshield is cracked but road legal because the crack is across the bottom and not in the normal field of view. Rear door windows sometimes go up while not perfectly aligned with the front of the outer rubber seals, but even when this happens, the windows still go up and down fine. A couple of interior light lenses are missing and the interior has three cigarette burns, some scratches and a small tear in the headliner, but has been detail cleaned and in good shape otherwise. I have tried to show all the defects in the pictures. Has 3 good Micheline XLT SUV tires and one Micheline that still has a legal amount of tread, but will require replacement in the near future. In the pictures is a good representation of the amount of tread left on the three good Micheline tires and also the condition of the chrome rims, which are excellent. Spare is good too. I have owned this vehicle since it was virtually new with 38,000 miles on it and have put mostly highway miles on it and the engine does not, and never has blown smoke when started or while running. It has always required a quart or so of oil to be added at some time between it's scheduled oil changes, but there was never any pattern of oil usage-what I mean is that it might need a quart after 200 miles, then it would go 1000 and need maybe a half quart, just no pattern to it's oil consumption and it has remained as such since I've owned it. A brand new alternator (not rebuilt) and belt were installed a couple of months ago along with fresh oil, spark plugs and an air filter. Battery is less than a year old and in the time I have owned it, the following parts were replaced- >Transmission rebuilt with mechanical diode and Kevlar bands upgrade-still shifts perfectly and smoothly >Ball joints twice >Tie rods >Shocks >Universal Joints >Heater core twice >Cup holder >Air conditioning compressor >Front wheel bearings >Front rotors >Divers door window control >Entire nose-hood, grill, all front lights, bumper, fender, hood were all replaced with brand new parts covered by an insurance claim that resulted from the vehicle striking a deer 3 years ago. Thanks for looking
