^why not??? the engine is in perfect condition.
its the little things that would go out waaaay before the engine goes out.


Ive been toying with the idea of picking up a high mileage RL and turboing it.
500hp with SHAWD

for $6k, its not a bad project car.


agreed that it wouldnt make a nice DD as the little things will start going out.

Who knows the car might be mint. The car has one owner, body looks to be in great shape, they must've kept up with maintenance to actually reach over 400k miles.

But 6k does seem a little steep tho

The advertisment states that "we speak your language" but I do not get that impression.

Price is too high, but the car is capable of much more. There is a 515k+ Legend rolling around America...

did not see any pitting on the hood/bumper from rocks
how do you put 400K on a car with no rock chips?

Little to no construction zones? Driving during early/late hours?

I also didn't see any hard evidence that the car actually has 400k miles. Given the nature of the listing, I wouldn't be surprised by anything.
