I'd take it for $800. That 4.0 is good for 250K or more. Judging by the condition of the paint, that one was barely broken in. I can see that it's spent time in the salt, but it would make a great hunting/fishing rig.

It has 260,000 miles on it LOL

Either repainted then, or you took great care of it. That was a great engine... A real shame they took it out of production.

Never repainted just took care of it the reason I sold it cheap was due to it overheating and the frame was rusting out bad and needed a couple other parts

O.K. I've been looking and different vehicles, What ya'll think about the Grande Cherokee Summit 3.0L Diesel? Or the Dodge Ram 1500 LongHorn Diesel?

F.T.

Well since you live up north make sure you get a four wheel drive version for winter driving as well as it being able to handle everything from slippery boat ramps to off-road excursions.. I view 4WD & firearms the same way.. it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

I just picked up my third Hyundai (still use my old one for commuting, has 348,000km on it and reliable as anything) and have no regrets. I spent over 3 years as a parts and service writer at a Hyundai dealership and can tell you in the last decade that brand has bolted way up in quality.
The Sonata I just picked up has the standard 2.4L GDI and makes just shy of 200hp, and gives me 7L/100km average with city/hwy on the hilly roads we have here. Mrs Reck gets in the 6's, and that's in winter temperatures. It handles well for a family car and gets over 200km/h pretty quick.....I've heard....
Anyway, I've had really good experiences with the brand and am quick to recommend them.

Not a bad looking car for a 4-door, I sure as hell didn't want an "Old Man" whip at 38. The 2.0L turbo version is a rocket.....

Reck...you use all of these metric measurements that us dumb Americans don't know. Perhaps you could covert them to the imperial measurements for those of us too dumb and/or lazy to do the math ourselves...oh what the hell, 348,000 km is about 232,000 miles. 200km/h is about 123mph. Last but not least, if I have figured it correctly, 7L/100km is about 38mpg someone feel free to correct my errors. It is early and I did mental math without a calculator for verification.

I don't think you're far off. Bear in mind that I'm driving well over the speed limit (usually 120-130km/h both ways on my commute to work each day, the cops don't bother with tickets during commuting hours). Hyundai advertises 52mpg but I just can't drive that way, oh, and I had it up to 220km/h today and it was nice and stable, I think that's around 130mph or something close to it. I didn't reach down to press the button to see my fuel economy though....
