Someone buy this before I do.

Wow.

Maybe its just me (and I seriously don't know much), but I would rather have something that was used regularly and kept up well, then something with that low mileage for being 15 years old. The rubber and plastics still go bad just sitting there, and some stuff can hold up better being used. That color with the 6.0 RWD is just what I want, but I won't even bother with vehicles out of Houston any more either. They have had too many floods, and I have no clue what the percentage is that went unreported. For that price you could put in an all new driveline (slightly improved), brakes (upgraded), suspension (upgraded), and still be ahead as long as it looks good.

I didn't notice it was 2wd. Nice find. I have an 03 with just over 100k on it. Nicest ride I own currently.

Buy it! You know you need it.

I didn't catch it being 2WD, either. That makes it even more valuable to me.

I get that mentality and it does hold true for a lot of scenarios. But I'd much rather replace some belts and hoses than worn seating surfaces or tighten panels that have worked loose from 100K miles of road vibes, brakes and suspension maintenance, or any of the other wear items than come with a more normal mileage for an '05. Chances are, that one spent most of it's time garaged so UV damage to the paint and interior shouldn't be a factor.

What WOULD be a concern is if that low mileage was due to it being driven just a few miles whenever it was driven. Short trips that barely allow it to get to operating temperature are terrible for an engine and trans.

Hmmm. Check out the headliner at the sunroof.

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw that photo! Water leak for sure at some point! Makes me wonder if anything got damaged from all that water!

I'm think I'm not seeing what y'all are. I see the fabric on the shade is detaching, but that's fairly common with age. Maybe it's cuz I'm seeing the pics on a laptop screen?
