In reply to 92CelicaHalfTrac: which item(s)? Yeah, the craigslist posts say "local only" but for the right offer I might be able to meet you halfway, say Altoona or Harrisburg PA? I can provide more photos, video, live webcam (strictly PG rated) to answer questions about the items.

If it was local... i'd go out and buy a Neon today. That was kindof my point. But now i really have no excuse to buy this stuff. Though... i am interested in the Enkeis.

But that's still a haul and i think the gas expense for both of us would make it not worth it.

In reply to 92CelicaHalfTrac: gotcha. too bad because the Neon is off to the boneyard tomorrow.

It blew the head gasket and I wasn't paying attention. It needed 3 quarts of oil when the mechanic discovered the problem. I don't have money to replace the head gasket and who knows what else was damaged running with low oil for a few hundred miles... The rest of the car is in decent shape for its age.

I'd love to attempt rebuilding the engine but I would have to divorce my wife.

Willing to seperate the azeni's?

maybe... but I want to wait a little longer to see if I get any takers for the wheels and tires together.

the engine is probably fine unless it was knocking... Was the oil pressure light on? kinda silly to scrap a car that needs just a head gasket.

Let me know, we need them for lemons new Hampshire in loudon may 7th. Not sure how close you are to that.

Travis, I've been out of work over two years now, I'm so broke I can't afford a new head gasket. Heck, I can't even afford a ticket to the Loudon Annoying 24 Hours of Lemons event @ NHMS. (See FlatBlack's comment above.) Plus I know my limits as a DIY mechanic. Head gasket replacement is way over my head.

Trusted mechanic had to add 3 quarts of oil, and I'd been driving it for a while like that. I forget his estimate for doing the head gasket, but he warned that there was likely more damage (and more $$$) because of how long I drove it with so little oil. Plus I needed to replace the catalytic converter and one of the black boxes under the hood - the circuit responsible for activating the radiator fan died, the car frequently overheated. Wifey said "You are NOT sinking that kind of money into a 14-year-old car." Case closed.

Signing over the title and watching the tow truck driver load it on the flatbed was almost as bad as putting down a pet.

PS: Loudon Annoying appears on the 24 Hours of Lemons website but not on the NHMS website. Am I missing something?

BTW, I'm 1 hour and 15 minutes away from NHMS.

Hi I sent you a message via Craigslist for the Konis. I understand if you're hesitant to ship them, but would you consider it if I paid for your time to box them up and ship them to me in Canada? I need this setup badly for my car. Let me know.

In reply to Canadian_CD9A: hmmm... the Craigslist message hasn't arrived yet. Perhaps it was held up in Customs?

Let me investigate shipping costs. Contact me at: webmaster (at) pets-a-go-go (dot) com
