Just pulled the trigger on a 01gen3 xls. Great shape inside and out for $3400. Only thing wrong with it is the rear actuator for the gate. Got a good idea already on the pros for this rig, but what cons besides the "anemic" v6 which for its size is anything but imho. Tia guys.

We don't know any con's, let us know when you find one......Wait I though of two tires and fuel are expensive.

But I would keep the coolant fresh and clean, like flush and fill every year.

Had her for a few days now... In love. A couple little things need to be taken care of, but nothing major... A good buy. Fun fact guys... We've been doing it wrong. Btw, motero, been a long time brother!
