No affiliation.

Doesn't run, but could be a good fixer upper if the valves aren't bent LOL!

I thought I would share and see if anyone is interested. Car looks nice otherwise.

"i've had the car for 10 years. its been sitting up for past 6 besides driving it around once a month. have all service records since i purchased it. 8 months ago noticed oil and water mixed in radiator so i assume it needs new head gasket. drained oil when i noticed this and haven't started it since. exterior and interior and in decent shape for age of car. odometer reads 175K but stopped working a year afer i bought it. i'd estimate closer to 220K. good project car for someone who has the time."

I got this email from the owner on the 15th.


I'd rather spend some more money and get a better car if anyone knows one out there. The miles worry me.

Thanks for the post. I might be interested in that car depending on what is wrong with it. I'd love to get the spare transmission and drop the engine/ECU into the race car.

I was hoping for someone here is would be a fuel pump relay or something LOL! For the mileage and mechanical issues, 5 k is too much in this market.

I think this car was discussed in a different thread. I believe a RLer put in an offer at 2k and was turned down by owner.. Don't quote me though.

I think that was a different car, that was up for $4500. It was white and the owner gave conflicting reports of the condition of the engine, etc, unless I'm also thinking of a different car

"Does not run at the moment but just needs some TLC"....to take care of the oil in the coolant. They sell TLC at PepBoys, fixes that problem up real quick....

Even for free a S4 could put you way in the hole, and never get that finished. If they gave you $5k, you could spend it on therapy later...
