What happened to the old days when people at least spiffed up their stuff before attempting to sell? He's dreaming for that kind of money.

No kidding. The wife & I are in the market for a new family vehicle, and just got back from looking at the second car for sale that had not been cleaned inside, or had just been half-a**ed cleaned. Both vehicles we've looked at (Trailblazer and an Escape) were a year old and had less than 20,000 miles on them - a new car to me. But my '96 Jeep Cherokee with 216,000 miles on it had a cleaner interior than either of them!!!

Now, if these had been cut-rate independent dealers or private sellers, I could have cut them a little slack. (Maybe they don't have a detail shop, or it's still the vehicle they have to drive every day, etc.) But these were both at big, name brand, full-service dealerships. They could have at least vacuumed the carpet!

Default What is that behind the Turkey Pan?

What is behind the Turkey Pan up against the firewall? Is that a mirror or what?

They were replacing a header tube, they must have used the mirror to help see the bolts. Still no answer on when this car was made and where??? Did you see the black tank behind the radiator? It was attached to one of the cross tubes. Never seen one like that. My guess is an overflow tank for the radiator.

The black tank is a pretty standard FE expansion tank.

If you do open track, safety inspection requires a 'catch-can' for the rad overflow tube.
