I suspect that this thing was just their winter truck...
The thing is very clean, but has winter studded tires on it, on the factory rims. That kind of leads me to think that either their all season tires are totally done, or they just tossed them out and drove it almost exclusively in the winter and the last little while before trading it in with the dealer?
I brought it to a shop right by my work and they inspected it. He said everything looks really good, but the front shocks need to be replaced, and the rear brakes are at 35%.
I'll use that info to try and get the price sdown a bit more. ;)
