March 7, 200619 yr Author comment_158433 Way to go Eric, I thought the "whoa is me" approach would work. I said it at least 5 times there and I'll say it again, best Z in the graveyard. And at $270.00 one hell of a bargain.I should have given you a cell number and you could have come by the house and picked up some of this sheetmetal that I have. Oh well. maybe next time.Yeah, I did not have to pour it on too thick though. His fiancé was all for it, but he put up a fight to the very end.I have to say they were nice enough but i still think they needed to be more up front in their auctions.I am just glad it worked out well for me, and kinda felt good to stick it to the guy who originally sniped the car from me!Check out the photos I posted here, remember the bondoed rear bumper indentations?http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/big_daddy_nismo_4x4/album?.dir=/df68Thanks again for your help and hope to see you at MSA Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/19032-2300-mile-road-trip-for-25000-240-worth-it/?&page=5#findComment-158433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 7, 200619 yr Author comment_158436 i'm going to guess right around 350 bones. Well was I close? Well I averaged 14.2 MPG there and 13.5 MPG back and it was just over 2300 miles round trip. I have to say the 2k5 Frontier did well pulling 4500lbs throught the mountains. I was able to run up the hills in 3rd gear at 75-85 MPH. Flatland towing was even better, I saw 15.3 MPG on one strech up I-99 here in Cali on the way home. But if I pushed her hard, like 80+ the mileage dropped to like 9 in the hills!
