Default Cheap 4.0?

Is there a reason why this has not sold? Price is Canadian too.

My guess is fairly high miles for a 4.0, not 'collector' grade and modded

Some buyers stay away from Canadian cars or discount their value - not sure why as they're identical to US cars. In this case, I think the real issue is that the car is on its third engine - both replaced under warranty but I'm sure that is a deal-killer for most buyers.

No one is buying a 4.0 from a dealer selling used cars of all kinds and prices

This is actually a friend of mine's car, being sold by another friend of mine (who is the dealer).

http://www.vlci.ca/used/vehicle/2011...0-id965498.htm

Other than the engine replacements, all warranty of course, it's a no stories car. Owned by Chris since new, tracked, and very well cared for.

Feel free to PM me if you have questions. I have no angle here other than knowing the car since new and all the people involved.

Street reliability of the 3.8-4.0 Mezgers are not great. The engine has harmonic issues. The 3.6 is a much more robust platform.
