99 LC 100.
My mom bought it new off the lot. She passed some years ago and, long story skipped, the title was signed over to me about 6 weeks ago.
Pics from today. Just hit 325k on the morning commute .
I have the original window sticker and every service record back to the 1st oil change. Mostly dealer maintained. Oil changes every 5k, timing belts per 90k schedule, ignition coils and plugs last summer at 318k, alternator at 313k, new radiator at 265k 7 years ago, new starter in 2014 at 227k.
There was some deferred maintenance before it was gifted to me. I'm working through complete fluid replacement to baseline in my ownership. Heater Ts done.
Has original steering box and the suspension components it was born with. That needs to be addressed. Needs tires and brakes in the next 10k or so. Driver's seat leather was redone. Everything else is completely original. Driver's side fender is a bit damaged from something. Otherwise some minor parking lot dings and scrapes. Garaged kept, Atlanta car, no rust.
So, what to do with it? I haven't really decided. I don't go wheeling. Thought about turning it into an overland rig, perhaps a very mild version. Most likely activity would be car camping. Three kids and two dogs. It's pretty much my Friday commuter and weekend runabout at present.
I suppose it's 25 years old now. I'd just finished college when I first saw it. Anyway, the price was free and the value is priceless, at least to me.
The collective knowledge I've found in this forum over the last month has been incredible, so thank you to all who have contributed over the years.
