[Patcon]

Any one near Houston with a dealer buddy could probably pick this car up for almost nothing.

Runs at auction tomorrow

Have maxima diesels gotten that rare? That is one rough car. This one doesn't run but its probably just the battery. Also diesel fuel is kinder to the fuel system than ethenol gas if the car has sat for a long time.

That car has a V07 crank, think 3.0 liter L6. Buy the car for $300. Pull the engine save what you want. Crush the rest. Instant free crankshaft...

Yea i know just teasing you. Let me tell you my tale of crank piracy.... I picked up one on yahoo japan auctions for 200 bucks thinking it would pay for my seat upgrade on the flight back being the cheap ba$tard that i am.  After hauling that heavy ba$tard around and to the airport was not really worth my effort.  On

top of that I had to build a crate for it for shipping too. It destroyed the king size suitcase it was in too.  Suitcases don't like a concentrated heavy metal object. -1

wifey point on that one.

 

 

 

Disregard this cautionary tale if you're young and full of energy!
