Jon's nearest but is at a wedding today

Ben

Doesn't matter how much was spent on it, matters how much it's worth. $50.

Ex850R

Now Ben, this is the third time I have had to take forum members to task about my $50 standing offer and frankly I will not be offering any more warnings such as this generously offered repose. My associates will be attending to you or any other member, at a time and place most suitable to as to not be observed by other persons. Take care now.

Now this car seems to belong to the orphan class as everyone knows they shit gearboxes.
They are also buying SUV things instead...
So having to tow this from middle of nowhere does not help. Mehmet seems to be selling every car he owns so don't bet on him getting in on it.
The knowledge of the car is lost cos her mother died, maybe a service history could be gotten but as they are winding up estate I don't think they would care too.

$3500is valve body replacment

Ex850R

Ahh , so worth what for the car then Mark?

Philia_Bear

if HG == bad but everything else is good... 1000-1500 unreg
Jonbot is going to go look at it tomorrow and might end up buying it with me as I need the trans.... badly if its any good

Ex850R

Sounds like it had the valve bodies replaced hence the $3500 bill exactly what it costs....
I was thinking your car plus this car but you beat me too it! Would love the front seats if Jonbot doesn't want em.
Still interested in your V40 too Mike....

As we buy these cars I value it at $1500 <:-P
