Never have a winter. Ever.

Veritas/376/232/205~200 I've got pictures to show but I lack a current picture so I'll just show the befores and post the afters later. This is my portly ass from 2006. http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/61/l_ffa35f1eedd1f90fa743e9a89ad35fb7.jpg Ill post up current pics shortlyish.

Oh and the milage is at 138k and i'm willing to work with the pricing, i'm just wanting it gone so I can have my garage space back.

Well the car I found isn't in ohio either... its allll the way down in NC. A guy I dealt with before with buying my last FD. A couple pictures of it... http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/5889/26023992.jpg http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/8159/rear2.jpg At the end of the day i'll be paying closer to 8900 for it, a power FC + a tune, RB duals and the car itself. I think the body has either 108k or 128k, or 80k - I can't remember because my mind is mixed up with looking at the escape's milages lately. I fly down and pick it up in a couple of weeks, but I was hoping that prior to me sending my deposit just a few ago that someone would have found a better deal up here for me.. ah well! And you can find the nice deals, it only happens every now and again but it can be found. My friend Dave has a nice silver 93 FD he got for a steal near similar circumstances of just the right place at the right time.

The car also comes with a fmic I bought forever ago and just never put on. It needs the j-pipe to work fully. Also, the ride is rust free from what I can see, even the under body. Like I said though, pics coming tomorrow.

Is 8500 too low?

lol wrong thread. I'm buying this escape next week.

Well it's official -i'm buying my FD in a week and a bit so I need to get rid of my talon. Interior is pretty damn solid save a couple of the interior plastic door pieces on the driver and passenger side (where the boost gauge and pillars would go) Motor was just rebuilt less than 8k ago and the head was done just last winter. Clutch and spark plugs were just recently redone last summer as well as the flywheel resurfaced, etc. with one of the clutches from Advanced auto parts for a few hundred (I'd suggest getting a stronger one though, this was more of a temp. fix until I was able to figure out what kind of high end clutch I wanted then I just stopped driving the car). My linkage cable needs adjusted/fixed and I'm just not wanting to do it but if someone were to pay a couple bucks extra i'll take care of it before handing the car off. The door on the driver side needs the handle redone since I just purchased one and put it on only to have someone try to break into the car via that handle and only succeed in messing up the new door handle and not the body/frame at all. The door lock on the passenger side and trunk aren't the same as the ignition and driver side since the previous owner had someone break in and bust the locks up on all of the sides and he just replaced the one lock so the key only works for the driver side and ignition. It has a liquid cooled injection system for the intake, big 16g turbo, 2g pistons, arp studs, hks fuel management for the aftermarket fuel pump/system, steel braided fuel lines and brake lines, KYB agx adjustable shocks/struts what have you in the rear and the traditional KYB struts in the front that were just replaced last summer... just a lot and i'll post it up tomorrow. It needs repainted because its oxidized on parts randomly. Sun roof handle is loose. So that's it. Purchase it as is at the price above or make it $2940 and i'll take care of the linkage cable problem. Pictures + the list of stuff it has will come tomorrow when I get back from class. http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/57/l_7b00f34f6a13c1b9972078374e5ee8a6.jpg I have warranties also on the suspension so if there's a problem with the kyb's for whatever reason, contact me and we can get them swapped out from Advanced. PM if interested or post up, thanks! Terron

Is 8500 too low?

Yep I took it over to NTB and everything checked out so hopefully come thursday I'll have a escape too

Oh ok kool

Oh and obviously i'd kick whomever something like a bite to eat or if they charge for the stuff $$, whatever. I just want to make sure its a solid thing.

I'm not knowledgable enough to know if a transmission is going out or is solid or what have you with most cars so i'm asking for the help of someone on here who knows their stuff and wouldn't mind taking a peek at something for me this afternoon/morning. I found an escape I'm wanting to put something down on but before I do that I want to make doubly sure that the car isn't going to break down mechanically after I drive it off the lot. The car will have a 3k/3 month warranty on the tranni and engine so that's a bonus but I still want to make sure nothing else major is wrong with it (the body is meh but not crap enough for me to turn down this deal). Let me know please, 614-594-9197 and my name is Terron. I will be available up until 3 when the place closes.

Well I lied. I bumped it up to about 8.5. Have anything you can find around that price range? lol I did find one from the guy I bought my last one from and he has a solid MB working car for 7850 that I can pick up that I'm actually pretty sure I'm going to buy provided I don't find something fantastic right around the corner (the car is in NC). Please tell me you've seen something awesome within a couple hundred miles. Please.

I think I found one we're going to buy that's like an 05 or this 06 we saw.. I'm selling the talon now. lol

Time to see the towing capacity...

No. I'm more of a purist.

Well its appreciated people stopping in. I've got a post up over on the club so we'll see what happens... I guess its time for me to post up my talon's for sale post. Booo.

Eh the price im looking for is only going to be roller worthy unless I can find a steal of a deal for one at 6. I'm looking to spend 4-6 for one that's why I'm looking for a roller (a solid roller) to work with. But.. do you have some leads possibly that could dissuade me otherwise?

Not OVER, just rid of in place for... heh. Yes I am checking all those, I've had a number of them over the years.. I just thought i'd send out a message here in case someone knew of one off the cuff.

I think it's time I might sell the talon and pick another FD up (or keep the talon, haven't made my mind up yet). This isn't a WTB post but more of if anyone happens to see one somewhere (Anywhere in the US that's a complete car with maybe a blown engine or craptastic tranni) do me a favor and let me know in PM or on here in a post could ya please? Mucho appreciated!

I haven't been car shopping in a few years but I was curious if any of you guys had any experiences with escapes. We're looking at one right now and i'm trying to find out what some problems to look out for would be if any major things, how hard is it to work on the tranni on the cars, do they break down pretty frequently and all that jazz. If anyone has any experiences to share about them i'd appreciate it. We're looking at a 2002.

Ass.

Hmmm ok Ill get with CA and see how much he'd charge and what's the problem, etc.

Sense is horrible on winmo devices. I had an HTC hd2 but took it back because it would crash constantly if I were sending a text and one was coming in. Not to mention a number of other problems the sense UI caused for that device. Depressing really..
