Hi,

Thanks for replying to my ad. I'm in a hurry to find a buyer because I have a family emergency and I need to sell it before March 5. I'm an Air Force Staff Sergeant stationed at the Elmendorf AF Base, Anchorage, Alaska. The truck is here with me.

It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident...I do have the title, clear, under my name.

This 2003 Toyota Tundra SR5 has 81,500 miles, City: 14 MPG - 16 MPG, Highway: 17 MPG - 19 MPG, Green with Tan Leather interior, automatic, 4 wheel drive, 8 Cylinder Gasoline. Air Conditioning, Cruise Control, Tinted Windows, Power Steering, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Drivers Seat, Tow Package, Clock, Tachometer, Tilt Steering Wheel, Steering Wheel Radio Controls, Driver Airbag, Passenger Airbag, Keyless Entry, Security System, ABS Brakes, Fog Lights, Intermittent Wipers, AM-FM, Cassette, CD Changer, Leather Interior Surface

It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $4,870. If you want to buy this truck I will take care of shipping. Shipping will be door to door, to your home address. So if you need further information please get back to me as soon as possible.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Staff Sgt. Matthew Newman

Seen the same Sgt advertising a boat in the Charleston Craigslist a few years back. Curious to see what his reply is!
