231,xxx miles
Tranny is bad, still driveable if you have a strong arm.
Engine has oil seepage issues, but no dripping leaks.
Front CVs will need to be replaced eventually, I have a pair of new GSP units still in their boxes.
Interior is amazingly clean and intact - clinometer, and cargo cover are original and intact. I am the second owner - I have a giant file of repair and maintenance records.
Firestone Winterforce snow tires on 15" Scion xB steelies.
Hella driving lights and EMPI 4" off road lights, properly wired w/relays
I have the grill, missing front and rear bumper covers.
I love this car, but I don not have the time, energy, or a garage necessary to repair her.
I bought it for $850 in June, spent $400 on wheels and tires, $135 on the two sets of lights. New spark plugs and wires, new PCV valve, new 50W headlights, oil changed every 2500 with Valvoline high mileage 10w30 and a K&N oil filter.
Anyone interested? I'll be posting more detailed pictures tomorrow.

Said the tranny is going? Those things are getting harder and harder to find around the portland area. Took me 3 trips to the junk yard (3 different junk yards 6 different tranny pulls in the rain on rocks and mud with only hand tools) and a bearing rebuild kit for the tranny to get a solid one.

Might get a little interest by posting a price. I know you posted how much you put into it but most will be discouraged to even throw out a price because of the bad transmission.
