$1,000 for Motorgen members only.

I'll put up pics later.

Interior is in very good condition.
Exterior is in good condition.
Chassis has about 180k miles. Engine and Trans about 70k miles.
Many brand new parts, including tires, A/C compressor, full list upon request.

Why $1k?
Front diff is exploded. You can drop this and have a 2wd right now, or it will cost you about $350 + labor to repair. After putting in about $5k (for which my mom was taken for a ride) on a bunch of new parts and repairs to prepare for across country trip, the A/C compressor froze and it popped a belt in the desert. She's had it and just wants it gone. I don't have the time or inclination to replace the diff right now, and just want to move it for her.

This could make a good cheap SUV for someone or the base for an off roader. If I didn't have my hands full with a million other things, I'd set this aside for a Motorgen 4WD, but I'm at my limit now.

Text me some pics please, I need to get the wife something so we can get out of the Corolla. Too small for 2 adults and 2 kids.

Me? I want this for the wife and I'll still get my AC done. Black leather with no tint sucks.

No, Ben. He was inquiring about the a/c for this. But i was just too swamped with my own shit to do a/c work.

If your getting rid of your corolla let me know I need to get my GF a car.


Ben if no one bites on the Durango let me know.

Yes. It will need the A/C system purged & charged . . if whoever buys it wants A/C. :) Thought I put that in the OP. So for it to be drivable, the front diff needs to be replaced or dropped, and assuming one wants A/C, it needs to be flushed and charged.

I'm no getting rid of the Corolla. It's the only car I've had for the last 10 years that runs problem free.

Let me know how you wish to proceed. We can put it up on jacks and drop the diff here. By we I mean you. :) Or I can cruise it over to your place the back way slowly. I think it should be ok and you can bring me back home since we're so relatively close.

I can do it at my place, no big deal. I want that bitch waxed though!

Ended up pulling the half axles out and drove it home. Still made some clanking noise so I pulled the propshaft off and noise is gone.

Thanks again Ben for a hell of a deal!

Just this one since I need to do all the insurance and registration stuff. I'll do mine next time I get paid.
