March 5, 201214 yr hey guys i have a 90 loyale with the 1.8t in it, car has 55k original miles and is in good shape, i replaced lim gaskets and coolant hoses and radiator, well my head gasket went and i parked the car and now i want to get rid of it, how much would you guys think would be a good price to get rid of it? or is parting it better?
March 5, 201214 yr Why sell it because of a bad HG? Is the body shot to? HGs are not that hard of a job.
March 5, 201214 yr Author i was just so done with it and couldnt deal with taking everything apart again, i bought a 97 legacy right after so i just dont know what to do with this one, has tints hids fogs and i repainted the engine on it too.
March 5, 201214 yr you could search craigs list and compair prices in your area. in my area the scrap value is 300 or so dollars , if it was rust free , i would offer somone around 500 . but thats in michigan , not sure about your area
March 5, 201214 yr If its pretty rust free, and the underbody is solid (No holes) I would list it for $1,000 and work you way down to no lower then $800, This is just a guess, not seeing the vehicle. An HG on the EA82 are pretty easy, and chances are the head is perfectly fine, no warpage. Its really up to you what your bottom dollar is. -Tom
March 5, 201214 yr Author no major rust on the car, i fixed most of the body rust. here are some pics of the car
March 5, 201214 yr WOW! Thats really clean inside and out, I personally would list it for $1,300 and work my way down a little if needed. You should be able to get a decent price for that, even with a bad HG. I know if I was local, I would definitely check it out. Good luck on the sale!
March 7, 201214 yr Are you sure it's a headgasket and not a leaking intake manifold gasket? Is exhaust burbling out the radiator cap, or is coolant steam coming out the tailpipe? That's actually a really nice car. It's got the 4eat, which is a much better transmission than the earlier 3at, and it's in remarkably good shape inside and out. It would be worth fixing.
March 7, 201214 yr Dont scrap or part out! It would be a shame for such a great looking car to be parted.
March 7, 201214 yr I would give me left nut to have a 4EAT in my Loyale! Agreed, it would be a shame to scrap this car.
