maxebilly, gbrozen, burdawg and shifty:
 
On the off chance that any of you were wondering (or losing sleep) about the outcome of my 300ZX, I sold it for $495 from Craigslist. Someone who has a '87 2+2 will use the parts from that car to replace the parts on my '88 that wouldn't pass inspection. The good things on my car were the engine, straight body without rust, clean and well kept leather interior, four new tires (two had not yet been mounted), cold A/C and T-top that doesn't leak.
 
I was glad to sell it to someone who will drive it.
 
Thanks again for your valuable input.

Sounds like a good decision to me, all things considered.

I have no morning after regrets, and the buyer was happy, since he already owned a donor car. Two needy cars will make one daily driver, with the one I owned being the survivor.

#5630 of 5658 Repair cost on a Chevy Intake Manifold by mmaxson

Feb 25, 2013 (8:33 am)

I have aChevy Impala 3.5 LS with just under 90k miles and am being told by a repair show that I need a lower intake manifold issue with leaking coolant. apparently this is common in this size engine. does that sound reasonable? How about a $1700 cost to repair?

Depends on where you live and what all they replace, but offhand the quote sounds pricey to me. I'd get a second quote at least, maybe 3. You might even inquire what the dealer charges--if THEY are lower, then you know you're being jacked.

It sounds like some wire in the harness is touching ground. The problem with this type of thing is.....where? Perhaps the switch itself? Has that been replaced?
