It is a Limited, V8, automatic all wheel drive. There are no modifications. Don't plan on doing any. It has 125,000 miles and am trying to keep it running for another 125,000. Am not ready to put out a lot of money for a new vehicle.

A few things need to be repaired but I don't think it is worth the cost.

One is the heated seats don't work anymore. I had them repaired once about 3 years ago and they are don't work anymore. Cost me $75 for the elements and $50 for the installation. Took it to a interior shop instead of the dealer.

The outside heated rear view mirrors don't work.

Had the radio repaired. A bad display. Local radio repair, $125

Had to replace the battery after 10 years. At the same time my check oil light started to come on. Had to replace the sensor. They don't make this easy to get to.

Have rim leaks. Had them "repaired" once. Didn't last.

Took off the luggage rack bars and just left the rails. Those bars got in the way when I washed it and I never used them.

At this time I am trying to get the windshield washer to work. Replaced the pump only to find out that wasn't the problem. Tried the relay and that is not the problem. Am now thinking it is the multiswitch.

Try to do most of my own repairs but some things are beyond my capabilities or not worth the bother like oil changes and exhaust.

Changed spark plugs and wires once. It may be time to do it again.

Other than that and a little rust (Michigan winters) it is in decent shape.
