Yes, it does not have ASR so I got even more interested in it for that reason.

I don't have a specific code reader. Only a ODBII reader.

I was only thinking of perhaps running it until I get this other car sold is all. This car would be designed to replace the Wifes Pathfinder as her Grocery getter car. This particular car (now the pathfinder) gets cranked up on Saturdays only for her and her mom to go shopping and they make about a 30 or so mile round trip. My thinking is a Wagon will haul more, ride more comfortably and actually might get a tad better fuel mileage while providing a little easier entry and exit for Mother in law. The Pathfinder gets 16mpg tops so switching to a wagon that uses premium is probably nothing but a straight trade off though. But since we moved down nearer the "flatlands" we don't need a 4 wheel drive vehicle anymore.

But with four cars already for the two of us we certainly don't need another. So if we get this wagon, one of them needs to go. So I would rather get the money out of one of them to get on with the Head gasket fix rather than raid the savings account at this uncertain time. It could take some months to move the Pathfinder.
