new 2000 owner

Just bought a 2000 V10 4X4. Learned a lot lurking & reading here. Thanks for all the info I've learned already.
Blue with Gray interior limited trim. I go get it next week. It's in Washington state.

Thanks I hope it's uneventful. I hope there's no snow to drive through. First time out in the new EX. Only 800 plus miles to go.

Thanks I looked long and hard to find that color combo. Didn't want the tan interior. The tan body cladding is coming off ASAP.

Welcome to the club! ! I "had" the same color combo and decladded mine for the fear of rust. Have fun and make sure to have plenty of goo gone for the adhesive tape holding the cladding up.

I'm in eastern MT. I have no idea what the value is of the cladding. I get back to the U.P. of MI from time to time so I could bring it with me the next time I head home. Not sure when that will be though.
