I'd love for someone on this forum to buy it and I'm not looking to get rich on it. Please don't talk to me about NADA though. If you can find another two owner 2002 Libby anywhere in the country with 28,000 CarFax documented miles in similar condition I will beat their asking price.
It's currently at 28,000 miles and I am the 2nd owner. It is my daily driver. In the last week I did a round trip up to my brothers new house in Hardwick, VT(3 hours each way) and yesterday I was in it all day(12 hours) driving from dealer to dealer in NH and MA until I found my new vehicle. I bought it about a year and a half ago with 11,000 miles. Engine, trans, transfer and the rest of the drivetrain are perfect. Cat back exhaust(all the way from the manifold cats), brakes(including lines, pads, shoes, calipers and pistons), H&R Springs, etc, etc all new within the last 16,000 miles or 16 months. I just replaced the rear upper with a factory one because I had a slight low speed rattle, but it wasn't that.
The body is pretty much scratch, ding and dent free. I added factory cruise, steering wheel audio controls and the upper display panel. Double din Android/Apple stereo with steering wheel control adapter and satellite receiver.
The interior has no rips, stains and almost no wear. Only slight sun fading to the cloth on the tops of the door panels.
If you followed any of my posts you know the tires are pretty much brand new.
Full disclosure on things it might need and it's condition.
1) Although the brakes have less than 17,000 miles on them I have noticed some pulsation while braking within the last month or so. It's been a tough Winter here and I'm not surprised if one of the front rotors has developed a slight warp.
2) This morning when I started it to take it to the car wash I noticed a slight exhaust tick on the drivers side where the exhaust meets the manifold cat. It was a one piece y-pipe and it never aligned perfectly, so I'm hoping it just needs a new doughnut.
3) Some clear coat pealing on the roof and some of the emblems are faded. Besides that the paint is all original and in great condition. I did plan to buff and wax it when I first bought it, but never got around to it.
4) Never figured out the low speed rattle I thought was the rear upper. I even paid the dealer $145 for them to put it up on the lift and test drive it to see if they could find anything. They said the suspension and exhaust all looked fine and they could not find anything worn or in need of replacement. Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the y-pipe upper cat joint causing the noise.
5) the only slight spot of rust on the entire body that I know about is inside the rear driver's side door opening just forward of the rear tire. It is obviously not visible when the door is close and it had been touched up prior to me buying it. If I didn't buy a new vehicle sometime in the next couple years I probably would have the area cut out and a boneyard patch put in. If I didn't mention it a buyer probably would never even know about it, but I am a man of honor and integrity.
Steering is like new. There is zero play and it racks perfectly. Front end alignment was done when I just had the new tires installed. Even being a shorter vehicle I have no problem doing 80 or 85 mph on the highway. I'm no longer a speed demon, so that's about tops for me.
Pretty sure I covered everything. Doesn't leak a drop of oil from anywhere. Sometimes, especially in the Summer when it's hot, the New Hampshire Oil Coat will creep and a drip or two will appear on the floor. You know its not actual oil from the vehicle because the oil they use is water soluble.
Last note on it. My older brother that I visited in VT last week has been a mechanic his entire adult life and owned 3 different gas stations over that time. While we were driving around last week he commented on how much he liked and was impressed with my vehicle(there was a lot of snow and mud in his driveway and I joked about pulling his full size GMC out if he needed it). He said he always hated Libby's and working on them because by the time they got to him the suspension was all loose and worn out and they would leak oil all over him while he was working on them.
I'm a straight shooter and if anyone from this forum wants to come by and give it a ride that would be great. I would honor and acknowledge anything found to be defective in or on the vehicle price wise.
I'm going to list it locally on CL and put it out on RT13 in town here with a asking price of $5,900 or best offer. I will sell it for best offer.
