Bye, bye Saturn?
The '01 lw300 has almost 203K miles on it. Last few weeks, something was
clunking when I started it up though it went away after a second or two. Was thinking possibly time to use a heavier oil. Now, at 3K to 4K RPMs, the sound comes back. I'm leaning toward a main rod bearing that is failing.... If this were not my only car and I could take time to try rebuilding it. Alas, Saturn is no more and parts are becoming scarce as is my available cash reserve. So, it is inevitable that I'll have to say goodbye to my beloved Saturn. I had an offer of a 2004 Subaru wagon in so-so condition that needs a cylinder head gasket. If that's all it needs, it's a days work. I can drive the Saturn while making the repairs. My dad had a subaru in the days that they rusted out, looked horrible but kept on going and more importantly, kept their value. Guy wants $4K for this but I'll offer 3. Looked it up and for perfect condition, goes for $8K. ~Oppie~ |
