Tindjin posted:Very nice. I had a 1994 Eddie Bauer edition with the 5.7 for a few years. Engine and body were fantastic but I got a poo poo E4OD tranny that was rebuilt and then replaced. The replaced one was fine. I don't think it helped that I had a super charger on it. You mean the 5.8 (351)? I don't think Ford made a 5.7. I'll keep the transfer case solenoid in the back of my head. For now, I think I need to get a new rear window motor, but at least the window is stuck up and not down. I hooked up a 12V source to the motor plug, but it only does about half a turn in either direction - enough to get the window down about 1/4 inch. I hear the tailgate window motor is the same as one of the door window motors. Confirm/deny?

Oh and watch out for the solenoid/motor on the transfer case that changes the gears, it's a known weak part of that series of transfercases.

I don't see too many of these around. I have (for sale in Ontario) an 01 Mazda Millenia S, only car ever with the Miller cycle engine. Also the only car I've ever owned that didn't give me constant problems. Click here for the full 800x531 image. edit: the poor For Sale sign melted in the heat, also I got a ticket because apparently you can't park a car in the street with a for sale sign in the window. eh, here's a shot under the hood.

I don't know why, but I have always thought they were very smooth looking cars with the perfect design for the kind of car it was. I can't explain it, but I've always love they way they looked (the Millenia S, the base model looks much more bland).

The Millenia was supposed to be the first car in Mazda's "premium" brand (a la Lexus, Acura & Infiniti) but when they scrapped that plan it became a Mazda. The one Bruce Willis drives in "The Whole Nine Yards" is my favorite.

haha, thanks for the Millenia love. For anyone interested:wikipedia posted:The Mazda Millenia was a car manufactured by Mazda, originally planned as the second of three luxury cars for the luxury brand Amati. and it seems Mazda is again using a Miller Cycle in the Mazda2, so it's no longer the only production car ever. I'm still not sure what to ask for it, sad to see it go but I don't have the storage for it. I'm not sure if it's against forum rules to ask for appraisal advice so I'll err on the safe side.

Das Volk posted:Where do you live that a new Jaguar is an ultra high end rich man's car? Living in Australia I've always considered them to be up in that sort of range. I just checked it out and MSRP on a Jaguar XFR is $205,000 AUD (~$189,000 USD) compared to the US MSRP of $80,000 USD. High end cars are way more expensive over here. I'm now expecting a European to post about how they are 3 times that in Denmark or one of those other countries with ridiculous taxes.

I run germannnnsss. 2005 645ci / Sapphire Black / Black Novillo / Brushed Aluminum / HUD / Loaded 2011 M3 / Jet Black / Black / Carbon Fiber / DCT / ZDT / Loaded  the old black bird in his nest  lil' magpie first day home - I recently tinted him 20% all over like the 6, really suites him! next mod; VOLK rimmmmsss!     And yes that is my purse - I'ms a ladys.  this filthy attraction started with my first BMW.. a 2004 325ci Space Grey coupe - he was awesome. I miss now I barely had to clean him and still he looked suave, this new jet black is terrible.. but personally this is the best colour on the E92 - the sapphire black is easy to deal with but if I had to repurchase I would of LOVED to have a Interlagos Blue or a Atlantis Blue on the M3 and Alpine White on the 6

But it does from the ad need to be towed out of your driveway, which is more then likely the reason no one can test drive it. If these facts are true, then the 3500 your asking for is too much.

sbaldrick posted:You live in Cornwall... You know, I kind of got that feeling from it as well. I wrote it kind of hastily. I didn't intend to sound so  , maybe i'll edit it (if that's possible). It was running fine last I drove it but it's been sitting for a month and already had a weak battery so I doubt it'll start, that's really all I meant. I'd prefer no test driving because the car isn't insured and that would also require charging up or replacing the battery, etc. I think the price is pretty fair, and it's also negotiable. Interested? I've never sold a car online  edit: basically any advice/comments are appreciated, I really do want this thing gone.

I personally wouldn't buy a car if I couldn't at least start and possibly drive it a bit. You live on a pretty self-contained street, driving it around the block isn't that bad. Without the information about the battery, the price would be iffy to me. I'm looking for Saabs, so not really interested.

I don't actually live on that street, that's just my friend's place where I'm temporarily allowed to store it. You are correct that it is a pretty small subdivision, what I'm concerned about is advertising that the car is uninsured, and I'm not clear on the legality of test driving an uninsured vehicle, aside from the battery issue. I'm making an edit right now, not sure why kijiji doesn't seem to allow paragraph spacing. I'd appreciate any further input, and if you know anybody interested we could work out a goon price/finder's fee. edit: edited my ad. thanks again for your suggestions.

I like the double-black models. What are your impressions after owning it for a week? I still really like mine, but it's taken some getting used to driving it. I've never had a car lacking in low-end power, and it's taken me a while to get used to all the extra shifting.

I also DO take alot of long road trips, since my work depends on me to go to Bethesda and Hopkins alot (I reside in southwest PA) I did test drive a 335xi Sedan and even tho the coupe vs. sedan length is minor mentally I couldn't fathom why my pea-brain couldn't get over that there were two extra doors.. and it just felt bigger. My mother has the sedan and I still feel weird driving it! Basically the 645 is the haul driver - wintertime blizzaks get fitted and it drives really great! (the new 6 coming in 2012/3 will actually be X intelligent drive - that new Hoodyonk guy is serious business LOL) - that car is AWESOME on road trips! The longest trip I took with that car was from NY to SC - it sure was a BLASTTT! the M is for summer/spring whenever it's not lovely outside, whathaveyou lol. I've been driving it like crazy so far - got him June 3rd and so far I racked up 2,200 miles! this friday I have to go to a conference and I'm gonna love driving on 70, 68, 97, 95 and 895 with the M3! Our first road trip together! I'd love to put a angel eye kit on the E92, i fitted one on the 6, but I can't find one that is compatible with the new '11 eyes.

Nait Sirhc posted:Wasn't there a guy in this thread that posted ~6 of his dad's vintage cars? Yeah, but there's a big difference between "MY car" and "MY DAD'S car." Edit: Since we're talking about M3 wheels and MY DAD'S car, here's my suggestion for wheels. He had the stock multi-split-spoke 19" stock wheels and they were utterly abhorrent to clean. It honestly would have been easier to jack up the car, remove a wheel, clean it, then put it back on than cleaning the wheels on the car. He got these BBS GT-RS and I think they transformed the car. Note MY DAD took the pictures and I haven't talked him into getting full cars into frame yet.
