        Snag that. Probably just needs a random $5 sensor.

            Mazda 6 with a stick in wagon form? You could easily fix it for less then what you bought it for. Clean it up, but it on BaT in 10 years and get 30 grand.

                Go with a compression tester and if everything is good on this side then it's a deal.

                  Is the bad idea parked behind the wagon that you should definitely buy?

                    @monkeepuzzle I have self reasoned that I could easily recover the $400 on the wheels alone. and body to scrap for $250 is a def bonus.

                    If I had a trailer, or anywhere to park it... I am struggling every day I see it on CL to not buy it.

                      buy now, figure out other shit later.

                        For $400 I would go have a closer look at the very least.

                          On the one hand, big "ugh" for having to wrench on a transverse V6. On the other hand, manual wagon.

                            Such an awful engine bay to work in. The 3.0 V6 does not lend itself to easy maintenance when crammed sideways in a midsized sedan.

                              If that was close to me I would buy it. And figure out how to deal with the fallout later. Just do it!

                                @monkeepuzzle This certainly doesn't have me thinking that I could rent a u-haul trailer and go pick it up this weekend...

                                    @snuze Were I not spending all the money right now on my new fixed-gear bike build, I'd be very tempted.

                                      You can't lose for $400. I'm an hour north and have a car trailer if someone wants me to buy it for them. I don't want another project.

                                            @monkeepuzzle you’ll just need to flip it really quick then. Or fix it! Er. Yeah. I guess I can see that. It was bad enough when the Beetle became the project car.

                                              This being a wagon instead of the sedan will be all the more important then. 🙂

                                                I mean, you can park it in my yard as long as it leaves before I kill another car.
