This just goes to show how J3\/\/|5H some people are...

The following story is about a pawn shop owner and his 1987 Mazda 4x4. Names have been changed....

It seems to be the gernal consensus of non off-roaders than I would get about $3000 for my truck. We'll use that as a reference.

Now take my truck...

Add 6 years to its age
Remove the clearcoat and paint it green
Severely crack the windshield
Take a sledge to the dash and remove the busted HALF
burn the headliner
add two homemade ugly bumpers to it
a whole lot of undercarriage rust
remove a/c and heater
Put a dent in the drivers door that makes it hard to open
let it sit in front of a pawn shop unused for 6 months

AND ASK $2500 DOLLARS FOR IT FIRM. Someone even offerend the J3\/\/ $1500 AND HE DECLINED. $1500 FOR A ROLLING PEICE OF RUST (running rust, but still)

What an idiot. Even the J3\/\/ pawn shop employees said it wasn't worth near that much and they wish he would remove it.

so? he can ask whatever he wants for it.

If you don't think its worth $2500 then move on. Thats life in America.

I won't let my CJ go for less than $12k, even though its a pile of parts right now.

The was way different from mine anyway, so it was of no use to me. I used another CO2 sniffer and got the same results. Pulling air through a tube at the radiator fill spout the ppm of CO2 climbed from 500 to 1000 seconds after I bumped up the throttle. Then we had to stop so UI wouldn't such too much moisture into this device.

I realize that he can ask all he wants for it. I also realize than no one will EVER buy it for anywhere near what he is asking, and every day it gets even less valuable.

Fair KBB value for 1993 Mazda - $3300
Mine Sits Here ~ $3500
Good KBB value for 1993 Mazda - $3880
Excellent KBB value for 1993 Mazda - $4340

Fair KBB value for 1987 Mazda - $1180 (fair=major overstatement)
Good KBB value for 1987 Mazda - $1530
Excellent KBB value for 1987 Mazda - $1825

The motor was different than mine, so negative on being a parts truck.

CO2 is coming out of my radiator = combustion entering my water jacket = cracked head/leaking gasket
