Hey guys....i usually stick to the 5.0 sections but i'm picking up a Merkur and i'm fairly new to the 2.3s so i'm gonna be leaning on you guys for help/guidance when i need it so i hope you're all up to it!

I went and took a closer look at it today, started it up and listened to it run. It has a small idle surge that i've heard is pretty common, he said replacing all the vacuum lines and PCV might cure it. You guys won't believe how clean this car is. The interior is literally like new except for 3 small cig burns on the seats. I'm not sure if the car has been repainted...it was factory black and it's still black but it's so nice that it's hard to believe that it's factory paint.

I would've got the car today, i was selling my DD to a kid and then taking that cash to buy it, but ironically enough right after talking to the kid i was selling it to, i pulled out on the road and left (was going to meet him today to exchange cash/title) some idiot pulled out in front of me in traffic and i T-boned him and totaled the truck

So now i have to wait for his insurance to pay me before i can get the car.

It sounds like a good car.

Damn you have to hate the people who just pull out in front of you

LOL actually i haven't told ANYONE where it is...lol. Let's put it this way, i'm picking it up for well under 4 figures....


BTW, it's exactly like this one except it doesn't have the red stripe around the body and mine has a single wing on the hatch. I'm also getting a set of BBS basket weave style wheels with snow tires to go with it since he won't be able to use them on anything else.

Here ya go....for those who didn't see my post over in 5.0 talk, here's the first few shots of it. It needs buffed and detailed and a little maintenance but it's pretty solid otherwise.
