Herb.

I am in Toronto, Yonge and Finch area, just off the 401 and certainly
wouldn't mind checking out a Jeep for you.

I currently am on a small disability payment from a car accident so
usually check things out or supervise repairs for gas and beer....

I am sitting home every day going half stir crazy so would love to come
give my fairly educated opinion on the Jeep. Or you could bring it here
to get a test drive on it.

Brian,
I am not really concern about the mileage as long as the vehicle has been
taking care of. I live in Mississauga Ontario, if it's not too far from you,
I would like to see some pictures of the vehicle. Could you send email to
me? What year is it?
