I have 3 Trackers currently, and yours is nicer than any of mine lol. But I will say that the $15k buy now price will probably scare a lot of people off. I understand that modding stuff is crazy expensive, but sadly in general people don't want to spend more money on a vehicle to save money on fuel. It's a niche market. A $4000 clean 16v Tracker that gets in the 20s for MPG will sell waaaaay before a $15000 diesel convert that gets in the 30s. Is it an Atlas conversion? I wish you luck with the sale.
