Need help fast! Going to look at '03 AWD tomorrow AM....what to look out for?

Post by 455SD »

Finally getting around to seriously look at(hopefully purchase) an AWD tomorrow. Little over 100,000 miles - asking 7500.00. Alloys, pwr package, sunroof. Supposedly an 8 out of 10. Slight scratch in clear coat and a few small door dings. Interior in very nice shape and all options work. One owner vehicle. What are your experienced(AWD) thoughts on the price? Anything specific to the AWD I should be listening for or "feeling" during the test drive phase?Thanks!

the awd system should have had some attention, fluids changed.Thats usually the most troublesome issue with the awd, transfer case and the rear hub

Thanks for the input. I had to head to work right after I posted up. Head off in about an hour for a two hour ride to go and see. I hope this turns out to be a good trip!
