What are your likes/dislikes? I know the mpg is terrible in stock or lifted trim. I know the V6 is not as bulletproof as the old inline unit.

I am looking (meaning I probably won't buy one b/c I'm a cheap fawk) at one on PBB that just seems like a smoking deal and is not moving. Of course it would be my DD and never get wheeled molaugh

Friend girl just bought a new one...I like it for cruising around town, but dont see it as more than a camper/light wheeler. I wouldn't want to take one on too hard of a trail; I know people do, but theyre expensive, the body is more complicated and more expensive to fix, and have to be a lot heavier.

I live in Iowa, it will never get wheeled and it will drink the gas, so driving it to EJS to hang with the other yuppie ****** :tc

is out laughing1

Commit that thing is sweet and looks like a killer deal. It would get around great in the snow and curbs :flipoff1:

The wife loves hers.... It's on 37's and has 5.13's needs 5.38's for no power adders

12mpg I assume is what I would have to accept.

That's my thoughts as well, but why has it been for sale since December if it's such a great buy?

I don't have Mercedes $$ like you so son!

Yeah I have looked over that build thread a few times. If it could pull 20 on the hwy I'd be happy, I don't rack on miles, under 10K/yr for the most part.

Vicky the Vicious Vitara is 12 years old and needs tires, shocks, exhaust yesterday. I know it's better to keep what I have and a $1000 in repairs is cheaper than 2 payments, etc. I hate thinking logically in my old age dammit! It'd make sense if I was sentimentally attached to it, but most days I would like to see it wrapped around a telephone pole and ride a bicycle to work. laughing1
