I just acquired a Q from my neighbors, thinking I would park it here and use it for parts. Engine sounds awful, oil is black and thick. Sellers were told it had a spun bearing. Whatever is wrong the engine is wasted.

Has a straight California body, and real decent leather. Radio console trashed. It is maroon/brown with same interior. Totally wrong colors for our car.

I don't really have the time or interest to start selling parts, but I would feel good about getting this interior to someone who could use it, or possibly selling the entire car. Could be a great deal for someone who for whom the colors match.

Open to suggestions.

Thanks, Alan

Free Q?

Id spend $500 and make it run nice..... Especially with nice interior.....

Hell Id buy it for $500, but then again I dont need ANOTHER non running Q... Would be fun though...

What kinda miles does it have on it?

Sorry to hear about that interior......the color combination sounds terrible. Well since you have a free Q you cant really lose money. It depends if you want the car or not. I guess in your situation it would matter if you could even get rid of the car.

I would like to buy the seats if the color matches, shipping is reasonable, and you can share [email protected]

Wes, Acquired is not synonomous with free! I don't know how you would repair this engine for $500. 50 cans of liquid engine rebuilder from "Pep Boys"? : I'm afraid the patient is terminal.

BTW the interior and exterior colors are very attractive as far as I am concerned, just no use to me 'cause our car is silver/gray.

Cheers,alan
