Looking for a Gen 3 Montero Limited. I live in SW Ohio and willing to travel a couple hours.

I'm looking for one in Arizona, preferably with either valve seals done or most of its life on synthetic, preferably already has a lift and tires. Manual trans would be awesome, but not required.

Someone snatch this one up! Please. Before I do something rash.

Why? You have to somehow get it off the island and onto the ferry, can the ferry fit a truck and trailer? If the timing belt broke, you probably have valve damage, cylinder scoring, piston damage... That's a good deal of time and money. But if you have both and enjoy that kind of engine rebuild, maybe your right

Edit:just out of curiosity, is it yours? Not many people sign up here just to post in this thread???

Easy tiger. I've been searching far and wide for a gen 2.5 or 3 and happened to just buy a 2.5 in SoCal. Flying down in 2 weeks, driving it back. So no, this one isn't mine. (Although, kinda wished I waited)

So you dont think $950obo isn't a steal for this one owner NW gen 3, ok whatever. In my mind...Probably talk em down to $800, tow it home, swap in a 3.8 and you think it's still not worth the $? I spotted this ad recently and thought hey, why not share this deal with the right crowd. You know, the ones that appreciate these vehicles? But maybe not you sir.

I didnt mean to come off standoffish, just skeptical...you may very well be right, it being a good deal, hence the part in my previous post that said..."maybe your right"

Craigslist post did say previously a CA Montero. I wasn't able to find a thread doing a username search. I'll look more on the desktop.

Anyone know any details or more history?

My thoughts exactly. Haha. Who knows...Bedliner might protect the top from scratches.

Nothing a dirty afternoon with mask and power sander can't fix. Or coat the bottom trim to match.
