<<<<<<UPDATE>>>>>>
Well, this story ends with no new LC in my drive way. If you look at the pictures below (I don't think this was even the same truck) of the LC I was traveling to Long Island, NY from Albany, NY to see, you would indeed say WOW, not bad at all right? 1997 40th with lockers and sage in color. Kinda hard to find but not at all impossible. WELL, when I got to the dealer I was not even parked yet and I noticed a large dent in the hood. OK no big deal I thought, this can be fixed easy enough. This was just the beginning. There was not 1 body panel that did not have dents or scratches....still not a huge concern as I was planning on wheeling with it anyway. On to the interior....it looked like someone let loose 5 rabid Rot Weilers in the cab and threw in a cat for good measure.....absolutly hidious!!!!! I even found MOLD under the left rear seat where it looks like someone had spilled coffee and forgot about it.
The dealer blatantly lied to me!!!! I was PISSED as you can imagine!!!!! He had assured me as to the fatastic condition of the LC. The 1st sentence in the add was "THIS IS A 40 TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION IN PERFECT CONDITION,THIS VEHICLE RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE NEW ,NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS," yeah right!!!!!
OK mechanical problems...I was on the phone with him in the middle of my drive to LI. He told me the truck was running rough so he "threw in at no cost" a tune-up.....another lie...at the time he placed the add the truck was running rough and even his mechanic said "I would not let this guy drive back to Albany with the truck running like this"....NICE!!!!!
So the search continues............
