Engine:2.7L 6 cylinder DOHC engine (recently overheated)
Transmission: 5-speed shiftable automatic transmission
Color: Bright Silver Metallic exterior, Grey interior
Condition is ‘Salvage’ because the engine overheated – the title condition is ‘Clean’.
WHY AM I SELLING?
Before the engine recently overheated, it was a reliable daily driver and ran very well. Now, it stumbles – there is oil in the coolant and coolant in the oil. It likely needs a new head gasket or head.
It’s not worth it for me to have the repair work done, but it is a great project for someone who wants to do the repair themselves or pay to have the repairs done. This is an otherwise very sturdy and reliable SUV.
HISTORY
My Dad purchased it as a used vehicle in Feb. of 2013 with 65,000 miles and has meticulously cleaned and maintained it over the past 10 years including oil changes every 7,500 miles. I recently took ownership.
