When I bought it, I looked underneath & was as though this vehicle has not seen much severe & extreme road conditions typical to higher mileage undersides. The interior has held up Very Well.
It drives & Handles like a Newer Suv with much less miles on it. It is a 5 speed manual transmission. 187k miles.
It drives Perfectly between 1st through 4th gear. It does not go into reverse & once in 5th gear, it will come out on its own. The only difference from 4th to 5th is the overdrive - lower rpm at higher speed - Highway speeds range in the 3k to 3500 rpm - apprx., which is perfectly fine & well below the high rpm red range. Just a little less gas mileage at high highway speeds (> 65 - 75 mph).
When I drove it, I parked in front spots or if pulling into spots only using the inclined ones, so it will roll down & out of the spot.
5 Seats - 2 front bucket & 3 rear bench & has the 2 / 1 fold down back seats for a good amount of space for transporting large items & also has the roof rack. Medium sized Spare - (no doughnut - too small for Suv's) Storage compartments in rear sides for fluids/funnel.
Please note: Although the paint Shine Looks really Good, there is a small area on the roof between the rails where the paint is about down to the metal & some body marks here & there & other small areas that may use some touch up paint to get it looking Very close to New.
I replaced the front tires when I bought it, as there are maybe 10 to 12,000 miles on 45,000 mi warranty tires with a good amt of tread still on them. No leaks except for a very Slow power steering leak. The airbag light is on & I don't know what it means exactly.
All in all it is a Very Reliable vehicle with lots of power & room & good gas mileage. Includes 2 keys, 2 fobs, Gas cap lock Key & the Owner's Manual.
$1,450. obo
