Sweet. I'm still kicking myself for not buying Kaleb's suburban a couple years ago. Woulda made a sweet camp truck.

She has always had it stealer serviced since new. Put in a new transmission 4 or 5 years ago and had lots of other stuff done with it. It's actually in pretty decent shape, no rust, body good, clear coat peeling, good tires, tow package, but has a few little issues, nothing fatal. It's the same colors as my 96 pickup that was my dad's so hard to tell them apart. It looks nice. A year or so ago she bought a GLK and had this thing parked at the Vast Estate while she bought a new house away from here, moved, all that. So a few weeks ago she decides she wants to get the Sub fixed up as a spare and I drove it to the stealer again. It was not a high priority so it sat a bit, they finally got to it, did an oil change and diagnostic on stuff, $278. They came up with a $3500 estimate for radiator, hoses, (it is slowly leaking some coolant from somewhere) belt, and a few other odds and ends. Again nothing fatal but stuff that is reasonable to do. Stealer pricing! I had told her at some point she didn't need the thing but she had nostalgia for it and wanted to keep it but this bill scared her off. She offered it to her daughter who has no interest in it. So today she asks me if I still want it. I tell her it depends on the number. She talks around it all a bit and I tell her she can let me know, we can go get it, I'll keep it around, whatever. She finally says $500. We'll go get it, you can pay for the work, give me the other $200whatever and it's yours. Deal. How could I pass that up. So having just bought that GL450 for towing I'm thinking this old Sub would be better so I should sell the GL on and use the Sub for towing. Choices choices, but for $500... -- --FT _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
