Thread: Might have found a nice little payday on CL

What's up guys. So I came across this today and contacted the seller. Says it overheats and that the motor shakes. Not very detailed obviously but overheating shouldn't be a big issue to fix. I'm thinking LIM or worst case head gasket if it was just beat up. Shaking tho, what could that be? Possibly from the motor being coolant starved? I plan on going to check it out this weekend and if it's just a LIM job, that's easy. What do yall think?

shaking could be from a bad motor mount, the bottom one.

Damn, didn't notice the salvage title part...how much would that affect the selling price afterwards?

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure on the shaking.

Are those hard to replace?

Yea that's what I was thinking when I saw the 3 button DIC. It also looks like it needs a new bezel and stereo as well.

they arent bad to replace, you just need a 2X4 and a floor jack. I think the trick is to do the transmission mount and engine mount together. I think they are oil filled so when they fail, it decreases the ride quality.
