There's a steering leak somewhere that has been there as long as we've had it (2ish years, 30k miles or so), but has lost maybe 1/4quart.

50 seconds from L to H, then about 3 seconds from H to N.

Engine bay is dirty/dusty from my wife working in the agricultural fields near here last year. Was pretty dusty last year. I have the cover in storage.

BTW....


Don't let the "bad" scare you away. I tend to be honest about what I know or can recall about a vehicle and it's issues. This is contrary to most. especially dealers. Every vehicle (200 series) I looked at I would ask ahead of time of any issues and was always told there were none. While I did buy one, EVERY single one of them I found at least 4-5 issues before I even took a test drive.

The "bad" listed above has basically been in place for the 2.5 years and 30k miles we've had it without any increase in the issues.

Gauging by your posts, in general, you aren't overly acquainted with the 100 series and can't appreciate what big pluses this vehicle does offer.

2 of the biggest things are a proper timing belt job and the front seats in these. Less expensive 100 series almost always need these done. If you can do the timing belt job yourself its $600 or so job. If you add labor, double (or more) that cost. The seats are practically new.

It would be a $7-8k vehicle if there was no maintenance, needed tires, and the seats were torn or about to be.

My wifes bottom line is lower than mine, and as she put it, "if someone can get a really nice vehicle for a good price then let's sell it".

We've discussed and much lower it will just become a spare vehicle used for camping and snow.

This makes me grumpy - but in the same way the market has hit other "luxury" vehicles (like the 200 we just picked up) so is this one. I do plan to keep the ML amp to sell separately and try to recoup some losses here.

Price updated to $9,000.

just going by what I see...Like I said, I'll stick to my $8k number...and I know the maintence stuff...I'm juding on the color, the panels are off color, needs rotors, etc....I'm just calling it for what it is...Youll sell it for $8k...you are at $9k...so i'm not far off.....And make no mistake, I hope you get whatever you ask, I'm just being realaistic here!!!

The brakes just need to be completed, comes with ~$500 in new brake parts... rotors, pads, and both sets of front wheel bearings.

Shrug, you're not going to buy it anyways nor are you in this market, so unsure why you feel a need to respond here?

Got what I was asking without a negotiation on the weekend I had 2 others also wanting to see it - was probably priced low for the area.
