310K miles.
Maroon
5 Cylinder Turbo Diesel
Has the third row seats.
Rusty in some spots.
Owned about a year. thought of making it a WVO project, just didn't have the time.
The SLS works mostly. It is sagging a bit. New accumulators and valve would be my guess.
Some new vacuum connectors (I still have some). New Brake booster
cable.
I redid the front seats (removed the horse hair, used the "noodle trick" for the springs and regular foam) so they are not as hard.
New Fuel filters, air filter, transmission filter.
Fixed the sunroof.
Newer rear tires.

However, it died on me the other night. Won't turn over. May just be a new battery, bad ground, etc. May be something more, I am not sure and don't have the time right now to deal with it. Aside from some vacuum issues that a MityVac could work out (i.e. flaring shifting) it was running fine. Located in Cleveland, OH.

Any questions let me know. Thanks.
