Johnny's Great Adventure

[dubshow]

You’re not a used car buyer man. Unless it’s close to perfect which is a type scenario. Speaking of, how’s the coolant level/smell

Coolant level hasn't budged one bit - top hasn't leaked either.

I still smell coolant periodically, but the JK doesn't have a sealed coolant reservoir so it's the nature of the beast I guess.

Also most cars haven't been smoked in these days, that's a trend that's steadily dropping thankfully.

I smelled coolant all the damn time on mine. I stopped worrying about it after fretting everytime I drove it.

I wonder how many times previous owner dude drove your jeep buck naked. It's a jeep thing.

cigarettes schmigarettes ..... question is, did it pass the black light test?

What about the Lexus 4Runner thing? There were some pretty epic deals posted a while back, seems like the ultimate answer for comfy cruising and solid capability.

The non lex is more turn key I think. The upgraded stereo would be nice though.

So, my brother became a long haul driver a few months back, he has an '07 V8 4Runner... I think he'd like to sell since he doesn't really need a car anymore, I can ask him about it if you're interested. It looked very clean from what I saw.

I'd be interested to hear more about it. Condition, mileage, maintenance, price, etc.

The V8's require timing jobs around 100k I think. The problem with the Lexus and the V8 4R is nobody does the timing job. So you're left paying that on top of the purchase price and other expected deferred maintenance like shocks. On the Lexus it's because L tax.

The V6 is a chain driven engine with basically nothing that goes wrong. Better fuel mileage too.

I'll at least ask him... no idea if he has any maintenance records.

Doors off, pants off, it's the wayalife.

Hope you like cigarettes.

Looks like a burn hole in the driver seat.

It’s a 14 year old crotchfruit carrying Toyota that went to the moon. There are bigger fish to fry.

Get your Stanley Steemer and attack the Marlboros.

This looks nice. I think the 4R is a better pick for the AWD option, but this is a lot of truck for the price.

It's even at a Suby for easy STi trade.
I like those Xterras. We can easily add a hitch if you want as well.

More than that, it's the subie dealer that I routinely go to for oil changes and such...
If they could do $15k for this, $26k for my car, it would be a good deal.

Seems like an XTerra would be a fantastic choice. You should go check it out and see what you can strike up.

Yep.
If they can do that deal, I cut a check for $5500 and I'm out of the Subaru and into that and own it outright.

Only problem is it's been on their lot for under a week. Not like it's rotting.

Yea, but it doesn't hurt to ask? They might want your car on the lot more than the SUV.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

At least check it out. You might hate it, so it's another thing to scratch off the list.

that looks like a really good I don't understand the math 26k for the STi, 15k for the X ....wouldn't they be cutting you a check for ~10K?
