Wow very clean for a 96! Assuming there's nothing wrong with it, you got a great deal!

Time will tell. It was a reconstruct title, but they had the photos of the damage and the paperwork on the repairs. I took it to my mechanic who looked it over and said he'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I suppose I am taking a chance, but you do every time you buy something used.

I see you bought it! Looks really clean for a 96, and leather too!! Great buy!

Congrats...I think you got a really good deal. It is really clean for a 96. Never would have guessed that it had a reconstructed title by looking at it!

Is this a plug to keep the engine warm?

Yep, that's where the damage was. Good catch though.

Yeah, Oil pan heater, battery heater, and I gotta check if it has a block heater or circ pump. It will hit -30f or -40f for at least a week or two in winter if not more. Last winter saw -20f for a solid 4 or 5 weeks.

WHAT?!?!!?! leather seats I am so jealous, but an auto tranny EWWWW!

 

[AK Kilted Guy]

Give and take. I wanted a stick, but didn't want to pass this one up. That's live though....

they can keep both, leather is sticky, auto is gay.

I just put new tires on it. Bridgestone Dueller RVT, 245 75 16. Also replacing the Hella lights, with new Hella 500ff's. That should be done this evening.

You better get some seat warmers! That leather isnt going to feel to good when its that cold!

 

[AK Kilted Guy]

So, seeing as this doesn't have any badges on it, can someone tell me what model this is?

Congrats on the new ride. I miss my 96 I had.

Man, that a great deal. Its a limited right? that means u have the lockers too. $3,500 is a high way robbery lol, great hunt. Back in February, i bough a 96 Black limited with 68,000 miles on it for 4,500. It was sitting for 5 years, with no maintenance, but he replaced water pump, timing belt and put some new tires and brakes on it. i already got over 6000+ miles on her already. I did replace the the radiator, the thermostat and all the hoses, just so i would avoid a break down. i would put pictures on here but don't know how to do it yet, since this is my first week on the forum.

clean the positive cable asap before it gives you trouble.

 

[96743runner]

I believe you got an SR5 with a special order leather package. I think all limiteds had the wide color matched fenders and cladding on the doors.

Yep, and gonna replace the battery before winter too.
