In Reply to: I would buy it and rebuild the motor, then sell the wife's car whole--> posted by Jeff92se on September 23, 2002 at 11:25:56:
Plus since you have a good working car now, there's no real hurry to rebuild this engine. As long as nothing is too fubar'd, you could probably rebuild this one for under $500. : : Anyway instead of getting a new engine he is going to sell it to me or part it out. : : I am not sure what I want to do or how much to pay him for it. It is nicer than my wifes 90 and has auto climate controls, sunroof, and leather(although tan)...it is black and in good shape (few minor dings but thats it) : : I am considering doing a few things. : : 1. get it and put my wifes motor in it and part out her car. : : 2. get it and buy a motor from the local bone yard (450-500) and sell my wifes car as is(maybe for 1500). : : 3. not worry with it at all and just let him sell it or part it out. : : What is a fair price to pay for the car if I do decide to buy it? : : I really dont want to put much in it but would like the nicer things for my wife...she is still upset I got rid of her altima that was loaded with all that stuff (plus heads up display) but it was just too messed up after the wreck she had in it. : : anyway thanks for any opinions. : : Thanks,
YOu will end up with a nicer car, have an engine that's new(for all practical purposes) and hell you might end up ahead in the end.
: : Well I know some of you have read the problems my friend had with his 92GXE a couple weeks ago. Well he told me yesterday that the mechanic replaced the timing belt and ran a compresion test. He said there was no compression at all on all 6 cylinders.
