Seller’s notes about this car

You will find a lot of Traverses around this age online for under $2,000 because their timing chains have failed. This one suffered the same fate BUT we actually fixed it!! More than that, we went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT and replaced the whole engine! We replaced the engine complete with NEW timing chain kit w/sprockets and NEW spark plugs and coil packs with a core from a Buick with just 150k miles on it! So the body of this car has 209k miles but the engine only has a little over 150k! And this without the worry of the timing chain issue to come!! With all the work we did to this car, she runs EXCELLENT! She's also super clean as it was my daughter's car and she babied it! The only repair left to do is the rack & pinion BUT IT'S UNDER WARRANTY WITH FIRESTONE so I've discounted the price of the car to account for the labor charge for that! This vehicle will last the new owner for years to come! I have the receipt for the engine from eBay motors, the new plugs and coil packs and will give you the contact info for the mechanic that did all the work. I'll even print off the Carfax report I got when I bought it 2 years ago. Our daughter doesn't need it anymore and or driveway is too full now so we have to let it go. $5,000 or Best Offer!!! (we have more than this amount into it!)
