My engine is TOAST

You guys are trying to take candy from a baby! Frickin' VULTURES!!! Go find your own that is already up for sale; instead of trying to convince new and active members to get rid of theirs. Our numbers are small enough. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

CANNIBALS!

I'm not going to post my VX ailments anymore... there will be a zombified VX crowd marching toward my garage, scratching at the windows, peeling back the siding, moaning at the unfufilled need for used parts! LOL... actually that's not too far fetched...

We need to be convincing him to go to Moab! His motor should be broken in by then or he can break it in on the way there...hmmm?

Thanks guys for the encouragement. I'm trying to set this up via long distance since the car is with my son at University of Iowa. I will keep you posted and thanks again. I think I am looking at $5K installed rebuilt engine with 12/12 warranty. BTW my car is a sweet 2002 proton yellow w 40K miles, so it hurts a lot. Oops! It's a 2001, I goofed.

2002 ??? Hmmm, I guess I missed that year's model.

Oops! I meant 2001. Edited.

Well I bought a new longblock rebuilt engine today, from Dahmer's Powertrain in Missouri. It has a three year warranty. I also found a replacement oil pan. The engine will arrive in Iowa City where my car rests tomorrow. With a little luck I'll be back in business in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for your encouragement.

LOL...That's funny,,, and no need for name calling. Some people that have a catastrophic failure lean towards the only way out is to fix it because they think it might not be worth anything "as is".. Candy from a baby?? Did I throw a price out there, or try low ball figure?? NO... I'm looking for a project VX with no motor and will give someone a fair price, and as cheap as VX's are out there with GOOD RUNNING motors they can add alittle more cash with my Fair offer and get another one without the hassle of replacing or having an engine replaced and guess what, two people are happy, a broken VX gets fixed and a homeless one gets an owner. And I don't need any parts I have all I need, just looking to resurrect a broken VX...
