NOTES
I have owned this car since 2000 and have been more than pleased with it. Like I mentioned earlier, it has never left me anywhere. Aside from the normal wear and tear or routine maintenance, nothing else has had to be done to it. It has lots of pulling and passing power.
All of the trade options must be rust free and in good running condition.
I am selling the Mountaineer and all extras as a package deal. The only extra I will consider knocking off the list is the 22s. If you don’t want em, I’ll keep em and knock a few dollars off of the sale price. Everything else goes with it. If you don’t want the factory stuff, you can simply put it on eBay and get a couple of $s for it.
Pay no attention to the 1-1-05 date on some of the pictures. I forgot to set it.
