At the end of the day your looking at a USED vehicle that is almost 13 years old, the price and mileage seem right but I would have it checked out to make sure it doesn't have anything major going on with the driveline. With that said I have never bought a used vehicle that didn't need anything...

Yea, Mine also has a new battery in it. So oddly enough I went out to test the range thing with the chin trick and my range was significantly better and all I had done was wash my vehicle, I have no clue where the antenna might be but I certainly wouldn't think it would be this sensitive. I...

Thats an awesome deal if the title is clean!

My 2000 3.4 ticks, sounds like a sewing machine when your going down the highway at cruising speeds, have no clue what it is???
