There is one for sale locally, asking 15k, its an 05 red rs, 15k on it, blown motor, the guy says that the last owner put to much oil in and caused the motor to blow, he doesnt know if it needs a whole new motor or a new gasket, i dont know how much i could talk him down, or how much it will cost to get the motor fixed,a ny ideas? thanks

 

talk him down to 10k

 

doesn't sound that bad if you are mechanically inclined. see if he would go lower still.

 

yea, i will definetly talk him down as much as i can, he seems as if he may be a dealer, so cash may mean a little more to him then private party, i am not mechanically inclined in the least bit, so i am thinking a shop would have to do the work, but i have no idea on what that will cost,

 

bring it to a mechanic at least to see whats up.

 

thanks for the tip, he told me that he has yet to get an estimate/mitsu is still going to get back to him, hopefully all he needs is anew head gasket, and i talk him down to around 12k... , is it true that adding to much oil would blow the motor? i was thinking that the boost just got turned up to high or something,

 

edit- its got 8800 miles, nad here are the 2 pics i got,

 

too much oil wont blow the head gasket. the only thing it will do is make some of the seals leak. sounds like something else happened to the motor to me. if its drivable than tell him you want your mechanic to look it over before you make your decision. then take it to a trusted mechanic. if thats not possible than factor in at worst a new long block . maybe 5-6k installed from mitso?? not sure on the price but you get the hint.


eww.. and someone tell that poor girl that there comes a time when your too plump to wear shirts that dont cover your tummy....

 

I found you a donor car for the motor if your getting that.

Is the front undertray missing on that car?

 

Does The Gril Comes With The Car?

 

or girl

 

Ya the front tray seems to be missing, and at only 8800K and no motor. Id be careful with the rest of the drivetrain. TC and clutch could have had the crap cleared out of them too.

Agreed, get the price to under 10K and then you can fix it. But do take it to a mech. before the sale.

BTW, does it come with the girl in the second pic? If it does then thats not a bad deal, car + girl = good times. J/K

 

if you are in socal call up tunning technology or RRE and have them look it over.

 

ya sounds fishy
