My new car.

[OVERKILL]

You seem to be missing the point.

Pics of the transmission internals do nothing to address the point I've made, so let me simplify it further:
- You've stated you aren't going to hold onto the Subaru
- The Subaru currently isn't drivable
- You have no idea whether the Subaru will be drivable after this solenoid is fixed
- You still owe the shop money for the work done on the Subaru

Yet, instead of taking a breath, and waiting to see how this panned out, you ordered a case of cat cleaner and bought a whole other car that's going to need money too.

This is very much like before. Car needs tires? It gets hosed down with Seafoam and driven at the redline to clean it out. Car needs brakes? it gets Redline in the oil pan and we get a video of it doing 90Mph down the interstate.

It's like you are trying to be proactive but don't know how, so you just end up wasting money on wholly unnecessary things and not dealing with the actual items that need addressing.

Slow down, take a breath, STOP SPENDING, and figure out a PLAN.

Okay.

No.

Maybe just a hint of June Carter Cash.

Not sure if there is an official lyric wiki on the song, but with the various permutations, I expect this is probably accurate:
"Her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying"

According to the lyrics printed in the liner of my copy of 'October Rust', that is correct.

I always liked the look of those cars. If it is in the good mechanical and cosmetic condition you think, give it a good detailing, including dressing up the tires, and you'll be in good shape. The interior is a nice light color and makes a great contrast with the dark exterior.

Seemed the most correct, and what my ears heard (and would sure fit what I'd expect Peter to be saying) so thank you. All my Type-O is digital, so I don't have that reference, very nice to hear you have the real deal!

I have all of the TON CD's.

Pete died too young. RIP

He sure did. He was looking pretty rough near the end there too, had lost a ton of muscle mass. I know it was a heart attack, but clearly there was a decline prior to that.

Don’t rely on this forum for a unbiased opinion. If you like it, buy it. I would not remove the “For Sale” placards immediately. If you regret your decision after a few weeks you will have a selection of offers you can consider.

In the early years, Infiniti's mid-size luxury car was the M30, which was later replaced by the 4-door J30. It competed with the Lexus GS 300, BMW 5-series and Mercedes C-Class cars.

Year-to-year changesedit | edit source​

1991edit | edit source​

The M30 came in two body styles starting in this model year: a 2-door coupe and convertible. Both came with a 3.0-liter V6 engine and 162 horsepower. Neither model had any significant changes for 1992.

1993edit | edit source​

The J30's rear-drive chassis was finely balanced, and the dohc 3.0-liter V6 both smooth and powerful. ABS disc brakes and all-season tires were standard equipment.

Also standard were a limited-slip differential, speed-sensitive power steering and a 4-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with interactive engine-transmission coordination to eliminate shift harshness. The top-line J30t added alloy wheels, V-rated tires and a rear spoiler that altered the controversial rounded trunk silhouette of the J30.

Like other cars in this class, the J30 came equipped with every imaginable feature, including leather upholstery, 8-way power seats, a Bose sound system with CD player, automatic climate control, remote keyless entry and a power trunklid release. The car itself was only 2 in. shorter than a full-size BMW 740i.

1997edit | edit source​

The J30 was discontinued after 1997.

I've switched over to the other thread, but I thought I should share: The Title lists 101,500 miles, and was issued in 2009.

This seems reassuring to me, because if this was a flip car, the title would maybe me MUCH more recent (legally avoiding the "Open Title" problem some seem to have an issue with.. That is where you sell a car, and YOUR name never made the Title. If Owner is Person A, You are Person B and new buyer is Person C then Title going from Person A to Person C with you, Person B, as an intermediary.. That is "Open Title" and let's not get into that discussion. But if doing it by the book, Person B getting ownership from Person A would peg the transfer date as much more recent.. as I understand "Flip cars." But hey.)

Good sign...

After 12 pages of defending the car and a huge “period” 2 posts above, why you haven’t bought it yet?
Upd: seems like you did, congrats! Post some pictures

I think Overkill has figured this out.

if you want something that looks like a jag, just get the real one. the 95-97 xj6 is as rock solid as an old car can be and they can be had for pennies.

but given your situation any 30 year old uncommon beater is probably not the best idea. public transportation isn’t half bad in most places
