needed tires
needed an alignment
needed brakes
ran hot even when it was cold outside
smelled like anti-freeze/coolant when idling
cooling fan would run constantly
cracked windshield
www.nada.com booked it at $8750.00 for the trade-in value (without all of these issues) and i was able to talk them into giving me $7500.00 for it
since they were having a Red Tag Sale, i was able to talk them into selling it for $20,000 + $1200.00 (for the premium package)...
my final cost was $22,700.00 (TTL included) out the door!!

Wow, looks much better than I was expecting. Thats a good mom suv. Nice choice. I bet its much more reliable than my new car. Mines getting fixed as I type. I have 1100 miles on my odometer. POS. At least the tranny is covered for 100,000. As well as turbo components, gaskets, everything basically.
