Original owner. 

120,000 miles. 

Original speedo was replaced due to malfunction, still have it. 

2.8L V6, 5 speed tranny, four wheel drive.

Have all service records, owner’s manual, two sets of keys and a Cilmer service manual.

Was a daily driver for 28 years until I got my new car.  Went out to start it one morning and nothing happened.  Battery was strong but the engine wouldn’t crank.  I don’t feel like trying to figure out what's wrong or tow it to get it fixed.  I'm tired of old vehicles and having tinker with them!

Have the original carpet, removed it as I got tired of vacuuming it.  Removed headliner and interior trim pieces, which I still have.  Original seats, with some wear on the driver side.

Alpine CDX-234 in dash CD player with external audio input cable.  Have the original dash face that had the cutout for a cassette player.

Bed liner

Four wheel drive was working fine the last time I tried it (a number of years ago). I’m told this would be a good hunting truck.

 

Known  Issues

•             Won’t start

•             AC runs but not cooling

•             Sometimes the choke sticks

•             Rust in the roof

•             Driver seat bottom has some wear

•             Various dents and dings and paint scrapes.  Some emblems missing

•             Hail damage on roof, hood and tops of bed rails

•             Drivers floor pan section replaced due to rust.

•             Top of dashboard cracked, have a dash mat cover

 

That’s about all I can remember after 29 years of ownership.  Feel free to ask any questions, I’ll try to answer the best I can.  Hope it finds a good home, it has served me well.

UPDATE-this is a relist.  Don't play games and bid if you're not serious about buying this truck, thank you.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
