I'm having a difficult time imagining how a throttle linkage bushing makes it all the way into the oil pan. Are there oil passages large enough for it to pass through intact? :confused:

Are they the same as the metal oil caps? Mine look similar, but I never tried swapping them.

Considering she could lose $15 worth of diesel driving without a cap, I'd say the dealer sounds like the best bet. Quick and cheap.

I think it would be hillarious if he got 17 offers, all between a few hundred and $950 or so. There's no way he's going to sell it that cheap. :P

Ebay ALERT!

This car was posted in the Ebay alert thread.

I didn't take time to read the entire ad just now, but it seems to me that the seller admits to the repaint. (Doesn't look bad IMO) It's the rest of...

True, a bit over-priced by California standards, but it's expensive to get those solid California cars to Ohio. Plus 85s are the most sought after, so they tend to be expensive anywhere.
