Cool So I sold my good old fathful x-----

Its true. I have sold my last running x type. It was not planned at all. A guy stopped by and asked if I was looking to sell it. I said everything has a price. So he took it for a 20 mile test drive. Asked me tons of questions and when we pulled into the drive said how about 4k. I said let me think about it. Well an 03 with 150k on it, rust starting on A pillars. 4k was a no brainer. So we are going t do the sale tomorrow. But no worries I am not leaving the site. I already have my eyes set on a 2005 x type. If all goes right she will be sitting in my driveway by next weekend. Now for all you guys with 05s....Any issues I should look for? Either way I wont be jagless for long.

dr,

As you know the first thing is to do a fluid change on TC, diff Tranny, breaks and stearing also grease the prop shaft carrier bearing. check all your suspension rubber.
goes without saying plugs, oil and air filters.
how many miles on her?

Enjoy your new cat these are great cars to drive.

DR, while most should have this, make sure that the car comes with DSC. With the updated transfer case, without it, you become a 1 wheel wonder in adverse weather. After that, you are familiar with all the issues.
