For Sale on Ebay: My father's Classic 1991 Cranberry Red Toyota Wagon DLX 4-Door with 90,550 miles

History
My father, an engineer, and one of the most careful drivers in the world, was this car's only driver, until recently as my sister has been taking it out for weekly spins. Pops kept the engine quite clean and did all the routine things you're supposed to do, right on the dot: oil changes, tune-ups and spark plugs, timing belt changes, etc. He really was an engineer in the true sense. The car has been stored in a garage, in NJ and in CT for its lifetime.
Until my father retired, the car was driven an hour round trip highway miles to work. Upon his retirement, he used it to go to the grocery store, doctor's, etc. and from NJ to CT to see his grandchildren, until moving to CT for good. Early on in the car's lifetime, there were camping and vacation trips NJ, MD, FL, using the hitch for our pop-up camper and to Chicago where his best friend lives-- to accrue the 90,550 miles.
On the Ebay listing, I'm providing the first and last pages of the book in which my father recorded his travels, mileage, annual work performed on the car. You'll get the whole book on purchase, as well as the owner's manual and original documents included on the Ebay listing as scans. We have the original keys with at least one, if not two additional sets.
During the winter of 2013, my father had a parking lot fender-bender which resulted in the replacement of the passenger side mirror. The car has not been in any other accidents during its lifetime.
Inspection was due in November 2013 which my father did not get taken care of before dying in March 2014.
