Now, she shows around 340,000 miles. The gauge cluster was replaced before we bought it with a gauge that had more mileage than the original odometer. I had intended to have the current cluster rolled back roughly 70,000 miles to match the original set, but I never got around to it. So, I am listing it with the mileage that appears on the current odometer, but it should be closer to 270,000. I am a mechanic and tinkerer so I keep her going for our family. I would send my wife and girls back to NC today driving her with no concerns about safety or reliability. I have a long record of fuel mileage, and she gets an average in the 26-28 mpg range while hauling our family of 5 and our gear. I made a wooden rack to haul bikes and coolers on the roof that can be easily removed if you don't want it on there.
Here are the things I have replaced since we have been her caretakers:
What does she need:
She comes with a new set of tire chains and a good spare. Due to the weight, she runs great in the snow. I think I have a set of rear brake shoes and a steering linkage rebuild kit that I will be letting go with her too.
I can replace the alternator for an additional $150 above final sale price if you like. Again, we didn't replace it since it charges fine at highway speeds.
I have replaced the engine oil, transmission fluid, and gear oil in differential with AmsOil Synthetic products. The engine oil will be changed with fresh AmsOil 15W-40 during this auction listing. I occasionally blend filtered WVO in the factory tank with diesel fuel, but have not made any conversion modifications. This car is a good running daily driver that we will be sad to see go. I will wash her inside and out prior to you picking her up. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have, so don't hesitate to contact me.
We will continue to drive her until the end of the auction. She has a clear NC title that I have with me here in OR.
Her replacement has already been purchased, "Boober" is a 1987 Toyota Van Wagon that will fit on our trailer. You can see Boober in the video of Blondie.

Best 3rd row SUVs of 2022
Wed, Oct 19 2022If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices. OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must. In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover | Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV | Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid promises 20 miles EV range, 5.9 seconds to 60
Mon, Jan 12 2015Mercedes-Benz has introduced its first hybrid C-Class to the US market with the new C350 Plug-In Hybrid. Despite its fuel-saving purpose, though, this C is not short on firepower. MB paired a 208-horsepower, 258-pound-foot, turbocharged four-cylinder with a 80-hp, 251-lb-ft electric motor for a potent overall output of 275 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. That translates a 0-60 time of just 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 130 miles per hour. For those that aren't interested in such frivolous numbers, though, the C-Class can still impress in more environmentally friendly ways. It can cover 20 miles to a charge and will hit speeds of up to 80 miles per hour (although not likely at the same time). Naturally, fuel economy figures aren't available at this early stage. Beyond those powertrain changes, the C350 Plug-In is still the same relaxed, luxurious baby S-Class, with a class-leading interior that should really benefit from the quiet ride provided by an electric powertrain. Take a look at our full gallery of live images of the new C-Class hybrid, straight from the Detroit's Cobo Hall.
