From the Seller:
“This 200 Series has primarily been the family road trip vehicle and camping rig. We usually take one or two trips a year, but due to kids getting older and other projects, it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Time to let it go to someone who will use it for what it was made for. It is a garage queen, very well taken care of and maintained. There are some scratches on the lower parts of the rear bumper plastic (absolutely no body damage, though). The running boards have been removed but will be included, along with the factory roof rack and six additional practically new factory wheels. Let me know if you have any questions or need more info. No accidents, no stories. Clean title.”
