1996 SR

Nice. You don't see many '96's. OBDII and a passenger airbag. High miles on this one, but the usual routine maintenance and this could be good for a while, who knows.

I thought that was the defining features of the '96 SR? OBDII, passenger air bag and blue dash lights. Either way someone should lowball this seller and get a nice clean SR.

i just junked one a little nicer than this one with 88,000 miles on it

According to the dash indicator lights, it's one of the extremely rare front wheel drive versions...

I never seen a color like this. My only problem is flying out and drivng it back to South Texas, I don't get much time off from work. And honestly I probably would pay the full price for it. 96 SR, no rust, not terribly high miles is what I'm looking for. I'm also looking for a nice 05 or 06 to show my wife and hopefully talk her out of wanting an Honda Odyssey, she thinks a suburban is too big, so a family of Monteros would look great.

Why?

While the vehicle looks really good (except for the scrawny-ass tires!), a good detailer can make most any vehicle look really good in pictures - I think it's priced significant;y higher than what it's worth, especially with over 200K miles. Look up the Kelley Blue Book value and see what it's valued at in the part of the country it's located in, then start deducting for necessary repairs and maintenance. The driver's seat, dash indicator lights, paint damage on the bumper ends and side trim, dent in the right 1/4 panel, etc. should all be deducted from "retail book value". If they can't provide documentation showing when the timing belt was last replaced, you can deduct another $600-$1000 for a timing belt and tensioner, engine belts, and water pump replacement, depending on what that would cost to have done in your area. Same thing goes for the lower intake plenum and idler arm - if they haven't been done then it will probably need them. Obviously, any other issues you find while inspecting the vehicle before purchase would be additional deductions, but if you're planning to arrange the purchase before you fly out to pick it up ask them to have it inspected by a mechanic to make sure you know what you're getting into. If they are a reputable dealer they should have no problem providing you with some sort of inspection form detailing any leaks, mechanical or maintenance issues the vehicle has.

That color is very nice. I know a gent with one in exactly the same color and rims and it is sweet.
