Best car I ever bought what it used with 38,000 miles only thing done two left wheel rear bearings twice brakes tires and the transmission what they did by putting a filter just like an oil filter allows you to change tranny oil every 60,000 got 167,000 miles and the car will still do 130 and gets up there quite good with 250 horsepower not one drip I change oil every 5 thousand and have used nothing but bubble one 5W20 and the one I got came with everything leather radio Set Radio heated windshield wiper so they dont stick to the windshield it had a sticker of 34,900 and when I take it out on the beach it does better than my h2, and the only thing close was my 95 Jeep that came with the optional four-wheel drive no quadrilock Axel Foley you actually can put this car in two wheel and part-time four-wheel full time four wheel and a low that time for power with the straight 6 was probably the best Jeep and I got almost 300,000 leave it at my cabin in Upstate New York for 11 years before the rust took over but my Subaru 16 years old no rust and everything works even the low tire indicator its amazing to find everything works but somebody recently told me which I never knew is a lot of liberals Drive these cars but that could be why the Transmissions in 2020 went to that CVT its like an old bitty bike with the clutch on it the higher rabbit the more it grabs could never pull a boat with that truck unless you want to get 30,000 miles out of the tranny before it breaks CVT uses a big belt that powers the tranny where is conventional trannies have three or four speed transmission back then now like Corvettes have eight maybe even 10 now but find me one sports car thats faster than a quarter mile with a CVT transmission. The LL Bean with the six cylinder 2007 and 2008 was a beast of a carAug 02, 2024
