Who am I:
Original Owner
Purchased truck on Nov. 6, 1998 from Kern Toyota in Winchester, VA
It had 4 miles on the odometer when I drove it home.
I live in Morgantown, PA (south of Reading) and commute 70 miles a day
60 of those miles are on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

What?€™s wrong with the truck:
*ABS doesn?€™t work. Needs a wheel speed sensor. ($132.09 part from www.trdparts4u.com).
*ECT Power Button Light Bulb went out a year ago.
THAT?€™S IT!! I?€™d sell this truck to my Mom.

I maintained this truck as if they were going to bury me in it. Regrettably, I have to sell this truck because my twin son?€™s and their car seats won?€™t fit in the back; I need something larger. In the last two weeks, I spent $3,800 fixing and reconditioning this truck for sale: Good-as-new Tranny, Front and Rear Brakes completely done, Replaced all rear axle components due to rear seals leaking, inspected, all fluids flushed. Call my mechanic (Alex Curtis) at GoodYear Tire and Auto. in Phoenixville, PA (610-935-3234) and he will verify all work done. Call Phil or Brian at Cottman Transmission to verify the transmission work and warranty at: (610-647-8484). The warranty is transferable and can be taken to any Cottman Transmission in North America! You can have anyone you want inspect this vehicle; there is NOTHING to hide. I just hope she goes to a good home; truly.

Thank You,
