    Like the title says I'm looking to sell my truck. I don't use it as much as I have the last couple of years and I don't really need it as I have another car.

    The Good:
    -just under 125k miles
    -leather interior
    -4x4
    -5.2L v8 (318cu.in)
    -fiberglass topper
    -trailer hitch
    -"Club cab" with rear bench seat
    -am/fm/6-disc changer
    -A/C blows COLD

    Recent Maintenance:

    -Front axle u-joints and axle seals replaced
    -Front and rear gear oil changed with 75w-140 Amsoil
    -Transmission fluid and filter changed
    -Serpentine belt replaced
    -valve cover gaskets and oil cap gasket replaced (were leaking)
    -rear brake hard line from master cylinder to rear axle replaced (had rusted out and burst)
    -front right brake caliper replaced (bleed valve seized and broke off, was cheap enough to replace whole unit)
    -brake fluid flushed
    -air filter
    -front ball joints greased
    -Starter replaced last year

    The Not So Good:
    -volume knob on radio doesn't work/malfunctions so you have to use the EQ sliders to adjust the volume
    -Body cancer in typical fashion for this year truck. Both wheel wells on the bed are rusting through and under the driver's side door. Based on looking at other trucks of this vintage driving around, I'd say it is in slightly better shape than most I see but isn't far behind them.
    -Small tear in the driver's side seat at the seam on the left side

    This has been my winter beater when the weather is crap and my utility vehicle for hauling rock, trees, lumber, etc. Several other MNSubaru members have driven this when they needed a spare vehicle to haul motorcycles, brush, etc. It has been very reliable and I have put about $500 in parts/fluids/maintenance into it in the last year.

    I'm asking $3000/OBO and am open to all reasonable offers on it. My price is based on what I can see others listed at on Craiglist within the last month. This would make a GREAT winter truck or farm beater, mechanically it is in great shape.

    I will throw in with the truck any extra fluids/filters/etc that I have for it as I tend to buy several of what I need at a time.

    PM me with questions/offers.

    -Steve

    MNSubaru lowballers welcome, I know what my minimum is on the truck before I may as well keep it as a winter beater again this year. The worse I can say is no and have a good laugh. :p

    So far one person is coming to look at it tomorrow and seems pretty interested, and one spam "lower your credit card interest rate" automated phone call, courtesy of bots skimming CL ads I'm sure.
