In the description it lists the engine as a 3.4 liter V6. What is that about?

For the 95 model year, if they came with the BBS rims or the turbine wheels, a lot of times they opted (the owner) to be switched to the piepan rims.

The antenna isnt a big deal, they most likely took out the mast because it was broken and unplugged the motor.

This is rampant speculation. Unless Wes skiped school and hung out at a lot of different dealers watching deliveries when he was 8 years old, I would regard this as hearsay. Most 1994 - 1996 with OEM wheels that I have seen have the correct wheels. Some wheels may have been switched at purchaser's request if the requested wheels were available.

Non working antenna could be a $250 deal for me.

As far as I know, the turbine wheels were on 95-96 standard, and the BBS where on the T & A models. That car is no good for the snow states. It looks like it has no TCS.

In an ideal world I'd yank my stupid antenna, smooth out the surface and enjoy just XM. Antennas these days are sometimes nicely integrated into the windshield anyway. The AM antenna on my 88 Sentra's OEM Clarion system was.

Most of the 94s-96s I've seen have had a mix of piepan, turbine, and BBS wheels. I'll take pies over BBS and turbines over pies and chrome pies over all of them. Its entirely possible some owners opted for more traditional looking piepans -- I personally do not know.

The turbine wheels are nice but arent worth a whole lot...

NEVER seen a 94+ with piepans unless they were swapped by the owner.

I was 24-26 when they came out. :)

Most have the gawdawful turbines, or any number of BBS styles (I've seen numerous similar but different mesh wheels on the T).

As far as I know, the pre-94 came with gray-plastic-looking piepans. 94 came with more metallic looking alloy piepans.Attached is older piepan.

BTW. There are quite a few folks who have seen the beautiful spider plenum topped VH45, leading many to believe that the Q45 is a FWD vehicle powered by a transversely mounted engine...:oface...Danisiti 1
