I'm the 5th owner. Ever since I bought the back in Jan 2021, I never skimmed on maintenance or using quality parts. Always ran on 91 octane and Modil 1 full synthetic oil since the day I owned. Even the previous (1-3) owners serviced the vehicle most of the times in dealership and 4th owner barely drove it for a year as you can see in Carfax report. No Rust (I will underbody images soon to the link)

Recently got steam cleaned the interior and engine bay detailed by 68 Auto detail guys @ 11/29

Drawer system build from 3/4" Birch plywood (Stained/sealed and top platform is covered with carpet) and 500lbs payload sliders (I know its overkill) and also the top platform converts to a sleeping platform

I have all the service records since the day I owned and original owners manual if that means a thing for the buyer. I never trusted some random shops with my cruiser so always maintained at Mudrak Custom Cruisers and Top Shop Auto even though they are very long drive from my house.

Interior - 7.5/10, regular wear on front seats for 22yr vehicle. 2nd row seats are Ok but I never used them other than to store camping/trip stuff
Exterior - 7/10, Few rock chips and pin stripes. Small dent on passenger rear fender (Will try to get it fixed before selling)

$35,000

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I was testing waters and definitely see that I’m wrong. Reduced to 35k to see if I can get any conversations started.
Extended platform attached to drawer system folds out to sleeping platform.

For such an asking price, it's reasonable to take and upload a comprehensive amount of pictures—especially of the undercarriage and current condition of mechanical bits.
