Default Possibly buying a 2002 XLS - need advice!

Hey all,

Brand new and glad I found this site before making a purchase. I'm looking to get an SUV to take to the mountains and for general errands around town. Read great things about the Monteros so I started looking.

Came across this gem

Drove it today. Smooth ride. Quiet. No strange noises, just a general sound when the AC is on. A few knicks around the outside where you can tell it's swiped a few things. Clean carfax, one owner, super low miles.

Is this too goo to be true? Any questions I should be asking about this thing? anything I should know about ahead of time?

Thanks in advance!

Check with the owner about scheduled services...has the timing belt been replaced, belts, hoses, etc...what parts were used- OEM vs. China made? Did you run the transfer case through its paces? It should transfer smoothly through all of the drive modes (2WD through 4LWD).
They are great rigs!
Good Luck
