Sale or Not to Sale

[Paulyq45]

I have A 1991 White Q45 with 150 something K miles on it but it needs some work. 2 fuel injectors P/S Leak may just one of the hoses And exhaust leak at one of the gaskets. but on the highway she moves and rides real nice. The last trip was to MGM Grand Foxwoods over an 1 1/2 hours away from the house. But I just got a new toy so it maybe time for the Q to go. What do you all think is it worth fixing or sale to someone needs parts?

Part it out or meet up with me ans I will see how bad it is.

Son, sorry to say but you need to take ol' yellerr out into the driveway and put a bullet in her head.

There are way too many issues, either drive it until it drops or this is a charity car. Good luck selling it, maybe you can get $2k since it runs, you'd be dumping it on a sucker...so is your time and effort worth 2k to you or take the writeoff and walk...or driver her until she drops dead of natural causes. I always hate that option cause you never know when she'll buy the farm, so get AAA Premier with 200 miles free towing if you go that route.

Are you guys serious because I was kidding...Hell I will donate the injectors (Don't really want to but to prove a point).

To be honest we have no service history or pictures to work with, so hard to say.

I was going to say - what the hell is wrong with you guys?

It's not UNREASONABLE to get rid of it, but to just tell him it's junk lol - it needs several k worth of work, and hopefully would be in good shape then.

If you have a new toy, and don't need it, sell it.

The car is in good shape I will get some pics up very soon

If you do decide to fix it then be prepared for a long and expensive journey. I'd say 3-5k worth of parts is not unreasonable given the history of the 1991 Q. For example, have the timing chain rings been redone? If not that is a ticking time-bomb. The transmission, notorious for failing, ticking time bomb, you need transmission cooler ASAP. My Dad had a wonder 1992 that he put over 7k worth of warranty work into before giving to me for 6 months. I chased gremlins for 6 months, we finally sold it and the timing guides blew up the 2nd day the new guy owned the car.

The 91' was a great car but there is alot of work to make this a good/safe/reliable car. If your prepared, at the end of the day you could have a great Q, but this is not necessary the act of sane person.....but emotional to take a once great car and make it great again.

IMO if you like the car and cosmetically its in good shape, i think its worth it... Clean G50s are hard to find!

DON'T SELL IT

But if you really really want to then sell it to a NICO member ONLY please!

Your car is really beautiful and worth you time and effort to get it running right and if there is anything I can do to help let me know.
