nice K5 but not worth 16K and I think the paint is wrong

The repaint looks like cordova brown not Mahogany. They also did not detail the door jam. Looks like there is some moss on the door and rust on the rocker. At least the underside was not spray painted with undercoating to hide any issues.

I dunno about $16K either. Pretty solid, interior is pretty good, except for the rear seat being stained. I dunno about the paint, it look decent. Underhood bugs me at that price point. Engine is some bizarre almost Ford blue, looks terrible. Batt hold down...FFS the factory set-up is so simple but they install some "Help" section piece of crap? Windshield washer jug...no lines, no lid, probably no washer pump. At $16K these are del breakers. It really looks like someone has taken a decent K5 and tarted it up a little with a paint job and is looking to make bank on the resale.

I'd buy that and put a new 2.8 Cummins in it. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than most new SUVs and it would be a much more useable machine w/ better mileage.

That place is local to me, usually keeps driver quality stuff, the quality varies. Some of there stuff is true survivor and some is typical affordable special interest cars. They have a decent reputation but that’s asking price not what they’ll take
