We have set the time to 10:00 AM next Saturday to go pick it up. I am excited about it, the car has a lot going for it, though it will need a good going over for sitting six plus years. I just feel this forum was never found by this gentleman. Had he used this forum he could have had the car he looked so long for. I also find it hard to believe that he didn't have some shop in the that area to get to the car and really pin point the source of his complaint. His complaint is a loud tick in the engine. A friend told him the engine was shot, if not the engine the head. This is an I six, so it only has one head. He probably spent 50 percent of what I paid for the car to get it shipped from Phoenix to Michigan, and that was in 2002 dollars which are a bit larger then the current issue. Oh well, we will see. But I think I can make it a very nice driver and if I can do that on regular gas instead of diesel that is OK with me. If things really go south with that engine, I would hope to replace with a diesel.
