Yeah. I just test drove it now. Observations:
1) Tranny felt smooth
2) Engine was quiet & timing belt looked good (no cracks), but didn't have a sticker
3) All speakers on the left side don't work
4) Lumbar support air pump thingy doesn't work
5) 4WD system is functional & diff lock works
6) All windows & accessories work. AC blows cold.
7) Suspension feels...tired
I talked to the guy selling it and he said he bought it at auction, then did a paint job (two tone, white body with the silver trim). It's a Maaco job. Doesn't look bad.
This is definitely a "flip" and at the 11k asking price I don't think it's worth it. With the "vehicle overturned" & timing belt probably needing service...I'm not sure if it's even worth it to make an offer. My gut says that I should wait for a better one, especially since I don't urgently need a car right now (I already have a functional vehicle).
Thoughts? Just feels off...
