How about just selling that car off to a sucker and buying yourself a low mile Focus to replace it? With all those years of college you should be able to afford exotic cars by now! lol

Thats not the way i do things. Im completely honest about what i sell, even to much at times. (i end up saying every little problem something has and the person decides to buy elsewhere, Then they end up getting an unknown POS part)

I also like to help people out it makes me feel good about my self.



I do have a few other options my aunt wants to give me a 200Kish 2003 Nisan altima with a blown head gasket. Im considering putting a motor and trans in it and selling it to afford another focus.

Id like to stick with a ford or a honda. Id entertain the idea of a mustang but there is no point of me having one as a daily. I just like cars i already know the common problems of.

I love hatch backs and a roof rack for my surfboard is always nice.

Id go for in this order:
Focus zx3
Focus zx5
Honda civic hatch back 94+
Ford Escape

Im pretty sure my focus has some mileage left in it. Like i said the motor is sound and doesn't burn a drop of oil.


Looks like i better ramp it up with the powder coating and stop coating parts for free lol.

Are you saying you want to swap a motor and trans with 186K into another car. Sounds like a waste of time to me.

Would probably buy a used motor and trans they only go for $300 each for this car... Hell a new engine is $800 on a pallet.

Talk him down to 1600 cash, get it running right and flip it, that's what I'd do.

Ah...the famous stall issue. Going out on a limb, its an AOD-E car?

I'm waiting for them to get back to me with mileage and transfer info. I was going to offer 1200. Does anyone know if there is a way to get a temp tag without transferring the title? Just so I can transport it to NJ?

That should say trans

101k auto.

You guys a little more brutal than I. Why not offer 1200, the worst he can say is no.

Sounds like the car does run, just shuts off. As long as the engine and tranny are sound you should make out like a bandit.

I don't know about Jersey but I believe in Michigan you can drive the car from its place of sale to your home without a tag, as long as you go directly home. I drove a 90LX all the way across the state with no tag. Maybe there is a similar law where you live? But then again you will be going thru several states. Maybe not worth the hassle to do it that way?

That's what I thought. If you're going from a car that's broken to another that's broken, now you got two unreliable cars. I'd try to find something that's a bit more sound. May save you time and money.

Needs body work. Not worth the time I'd have to put in. Needs a fender, door and paint. I'm in at least 1k in materials. Then still have to figure out the starting issue.

Couple of my Marauder buddies and I took some photos Saturday night.
