Really nice vehicle. I think its somewhat overpriced, but is certainly in about 300% better condition than mine despite more km. (the difference between parking on a dock all northern coast winter and filling it full of salty gear all the time). The inflation sensors on winter rims are a nice touch! And this has the rear bench seat that I wished I'd ordered; its reasonable when new, but its unaffordable to put in aftermarket.

looks like a good base to create your own doof wagon! just the thing to get pumped up before a sail. plus you can carry lots of gear.
