- Pano sunroof scares the crap out of me. It appeared to work but I heard a wind whistle from it on the drive, and some complaint sounds from the motors.
- Heavy clutch, but no sign of wear.
- Interior wear is mostly armrests. Not bad otherwise.
- Nice color, paint isn't bad but I'm not very tall and could not see the condition on the roof.
- Steering off-center, needs alignment
- 20" wheels but 17" spare. Was that normal?
- Front door cards both loose so somebody has been in there. All windows work, driver's door lock actuator is dead but the others are OK.
- Supplied key fobs are unsurprisingly dead.
- Low mileage, but that means all the things that die around then have died and been replaced, or are about to die? Could get expensive.
- With a jump box it fired immediately. Drove well, no clunks, cold AC, shifts without crunching, clutch is def heavier than my 5-speed but it's a different box.
- Clean engine bay, no oily shmutz.
- Code on cluster is "4x4" with a triangle. Did not have my Ancel handy.
- Aftermarket head unit with some kind of Android UI
Obviously, overpriced, but I would consider $US5500–6000 if the sunroof is proven to work and not leak, they put a new battery in it and get the alignment sorted. Does that sound fair? |
If you turned the wheel full left and right and the 4x4 light didn't go away could be a number of things. The SAS comes to mind. They are not fun to replace, but it's a pretty easy repair all things considered. I think you estimate of the true value of that X with the caveats is pretty correct. You can probably plan on having to put a couple grand into it.
