I had sold my old 90 GST to a local guy for $400 and a Timeing belt job on my new 90 AWD(he worked at a local DSM speed shop, the one that builds Shepards engines,BJ's) the only thing wrong with the GST was it had jumped time 1 tooth.
To make a long story short he took the GST before he paid for it and fixed the timeing and started driveing it and trying to jump title to his name(he had gotten a duplicate title), he had actually brought the tags up and gotten insurance. After I noticed the car was not where I had it at(a friends shop), I tried to het in touch with him to find out why he took it before paying me or doing the T-belt job on my new dsm, he had quite his job and changed his number.
Well I found the car a couple of months later and took it back(yea I know, why did I not call the police, Not me) It still runs but smokes out the exhaust and blows smoke out the side breather tube(where an oil catch can/filter goes), I think it might have blowby, besides the smoke and no boost I think the engine is still ok, it has good oil psi, the oil looks/smells good, it does not heat up(even at idle @95*degrees, engine runs real smooth, no miss at all, engine sounds great, no knock at any rpm. And the body and interior looks good besides red paint fade. O-yea, shifts/drives good and has 140k on it.
What I need advise on is what is a good price for it, should I sell it out right or part it out. Anybody parted one out and regreted it. Thanks
