I can't imagine why any body would want this stinking poo heap, except that the sumbich starts every day, doesn't burn oil, is cheap to insure or repair when needed, runs down the road at 80 all day just fine, keeps your bikes and stuff from prying eyes, is the longer EXT version, pulls a trailer no problem, can be hosed out at the carwash, doubles as scaffolding/battering ram/shed (triples?)... Has a drivers seat only, but face it, your friends suck and this way they can't mooch a ride unless they want to sit on a milk crate
Lots of tie-down spots inside. Decent tires, radio and exhaust, HD Reese hitch, 25 gallon tank so you don't have to be seen in it at the gas station very often. I'd keep it, but need to have a pair of kiddie-seats in my ride, these days, and Mrs FP hates it. I bought it 5 years ago with 130k on it and a fresh motor. I rebuilt the auto trans at 210K-ish, and put idler arms and tie rod ends on it. 262K on it now, with no reason to think it won't go another 50K at least. Doesn't burn oil, and I've changed it religiously. Once a year, on Easter. PS leaks if you over-fill it. Don't? Wipers, squirters, windows (manual) all work, no bad glass. I'm gonna miss this old piece of ****... Located in scenic Flint, MI, but I'll deliver it within reason, or you can fly in to Bishop and drive it home. I'd even cover $100 of the plane ride
