selling a Q???

[1gQ45]

ok i dont know if yall seen my Q but here it is (PICS BELOW) anyway lets say the car well it did run but has probs. It will crank over but wont stay on. So right now "IT DOES NOT RUN" it needs work. So getting to the point how much do you guys think that I would be able to get for it? Heres the pics......

[elwesso]

cosmetics look good, hows the interior???

Would probably be better off selling without the wheels, if you can throw the stockers back on...

was the engine lost to the guides...

Redmanfx, wheeerrree aaarrre yooouuu? I suspect you'll be hearing from him soon.

Sad facts are a non-running Q will only bring you $750 if you're lucky and it's body/suspension/interior/transmission is in great condition. If those parts are in good condition, then parting it out will net you more funds.

yea... I remeber seeing a couple Q's for sale. Some paint damange on one, and the drivers seat had a tear in the leather but the guy couldnt even get 800 for it. With how fast these cars lose value the suckers are the ones that buy them new and expect to sell them off for a newer car before the car actually dies... a couple cents on the dollar is what you might earn

[1gQ45]

I really like the car (one of my best I ever had) I think maby Ill just get a new engine for like ebay or if any of you know another place. I see they have them on ebay for like $900-$1000 shiped so what do you guys think? I want to keep it and make a nice vip car and try to keep the g50 breed alive LOL but I need alot help. I want to get his thing running top shape and all but what to do first???

[xerexabante]

why do you think it is the motor? you just might got a bad sensor. or a plugged fuel filter or exhaust. befor you jump to conclusions try to see what the problem is. bad sensors, fuel filter, plugs, blocked exhaust, would make the car not to run. selling will solve your problem, just see what you are buying, maybe more problems. sell if you do not like your car anymore and get the car you like. just make sure you think about the car you are getting. cars need maintenance, and repairs. even new vehicles need work, and repairs too.

[CrimsonQ]

Drop it and spend a few more $$$ on a Q with more TLC

[Jesda]

I say, sell it for $400 to a NICO member willing to bring it back to life.

Well when I was driving it it did have a prob almost like a valve taping sound but idk. The sound would go away sometimes after a while of driving it but would be back on as soon as I turn off/on. I let my freind drive it to work and he told me that it broke down. He said he was driving and then it just shut off.

So when I herd that I wasnt really mad cause I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later good thing it didnt happen to me while I was going to work (HHAHAHAHAAH) mmm....sorry. But thats the whole story in a nut shell. I want to fix it but dont really no where to start. My start was gonna be just buy new engine ( cause I was gonna buy one anyway. But that is gonna take some time and I just dont wanna have the car sitting there for like months (its my moms house she will b i t c h). ANd I really cant afford to goto a shop right now.

The good news is that I found this guy I know selling this Dodge Intrepid. Its a 96 with like 110k its clean outside and in. So I think its a good buy. Tell what you guys think....

Any used vehicle will require maintenance and an Intrepid doesn't hold a candle to the Q45.

Have you replaced the timing chain guides?

Here's a FSM (Factory Service Manual), just in case you decide to keep the Q.http://phatg20.net/modules.php...d=203

I'll swap you for my wifes 2006 Chevy Aveo, you just have to take over payments

[Jesda]

Intrepids have weak transmissions unless you get a 98+. And if you get a 98+, avoid the 2.7L which tends to sludge up.

The 98+ 3.5L Intrepid is a solid (drivetrain) car, but not the best used value compared to an early or mid 90s Accord.

[1gQ45]

I was thinking...... I saw some 96 intrepids on like auto trader and they were going for like $1,500-2,600 so maby I can sell the intrepid get use the money and buy the engine and fix up the Q. I would only be spending $400 on the dodge and maby I could sell it for like $1,600 obo and I still come out on top right??? OR.... I could use the dodge for a DD and drive that till I get the money to fix up the Q + to just have a car on the side. What do yall think I should do? Cuz if I do get like 1,500 I can buy another car or just fix up the Q

[Jesda]

A lot of first-gen Intrepids ask $1500-$2600 because they're comfortable and nice to drive, but rarely do they actually sell for those prices because they're Chryslers.

Buy it for $400, sell it for $1000, then look for an old Corolla or Prizm to beat on while you save for something more desirable.

Well if I get a corolla or somthing shouldnt I just keep the dodge? Its reall clean all it reallly needs is subfream bushings so when I ride over a bump or so it dont give me that click type sound. So what you think keep or sell My fav car is Integra I would really like to have a 4-door teg (omg I love that car) wish I could find one of them for a good price like a 94 +.

[Jesda]

You will need to do a transmission flush at the dealer and MAKE SURE THEY USE CHRYSLER ATF+4 AND NOTHING ELSE. Should run you $150-$200. Add a transmission cooler as well -- this is mandatory.

After that, all should be well assuming no prior damage has been done to the transmission. Thats the weak spot on those cars, and once alleviated, they're nice cheap road trip cars with (shockingly) good handling.

Why the hell do I know so much about Intrepids...

LOL hmmm are you hiding an Intrepid behind your infiniti... HAHA I think it would be a good idea to keep the dodge cuz a wise man once said "If you cant dodge It Intrepid It" or something like that LMAO

[David Steele]

I was driving it when it decided to stop.

The RPM's died off, something went wrong my guess is with the fuel delivery, when I spray starter spray it stumbled.

I already have the text book on it.

Since he has an intrepid now hes gonna make the Q45 a 5 speed manual that q45 is used up and done imo might as well make it fast.
