Recently, it completely died at a red light as I was driving home. Engine had oil (never burned a drop for the last 12 years) so I assumed the alternator failed, but the engine still wouldn't turn over with a jump. Tried turning the motor by hand and, surely, it was seized. Pulled out the throttle bodies and plugs to find bits of valve seat in the intake plenum and pitting on all 3 pistons on bank 2. The engine has been well maintained all its life (4,000 mile oil changes, etc.) but it was briefly overheated many years ago due to a busted radiator in 100+ degree weather and it seems the effects of that finally caught up with me. Therefore, IT WILL NEED AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT (~$2,000 value). I simply do not have the time or space to swap this engine nor do I trust another shop with my vehicle. The rest of the drive train is perfect. 7 speed auto shifts smooth. Ultimately, I’ve decided to sell the car AS-IS. It will come exactly as pictured in the photos with air suspension, wheels, etc. I’m asking $15k. After replacing the engine, you'll be all-in ~$18,500 including labor for the swap.
What's the status on this? Should the thread be closed?
