If the leather is worn, as he stated, it is NOT in excellent condition. GFL with that sale.
notice i put private party pricing as well, and also the seller has OBO next to the price...and he stated that the leather has slight wear...typical for any vehicle regardless of age. my last car that had leather was 11 years old, and the wear was average and still looked very respectable (with the exception of the rip). i wouldnt pay 9K for it, id offer 7500-8000, this one is also a 4X4, loaded, with eddie bauer package, the V8 (V8's were not as common) new brakes and new rack-pinion. eb's were a special package. the price asking with negotiating (as the seller is willing) is respectable.
you are correct about an 01...but it will come with 4X2, cloth (maybe leather), regular production model with a v6 will sell in the area of 9-10g's.
so im gonna take your post and call it by your username.
