It is time to sell my 1988 Merkur XR4ti. - $2010

Odometer is at 70k, but it is most likely 170k.

This car is a European import, 2.3l turbo 4 cylinder, with rear wheel drive. Older brother to the insane Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500.

The XR4ti shares it's engine with the Mustang SVO and Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, so tune up and engine parts are easy to get.

She is wearing brand new (less than 200 miles) Yokohama S.Drive tires

Power locks

New clutch in December '11

New Quaife shifter January '11

Only selling because I just bought a Maserati Biturbo.

Give me a call or txt, (2lO) 65O-2532

It is time to sell my Alfa Romeo Milano. $1900

This has been a great car for me since I've owned it. I bought it in November of '09. It has been very reliable, but I have done maintenance.

November '09 new battery installed

November '09: new clutch installed

April '10: Timing belt,water pump, and new motor mount installed. = 156k miles

May '10: A/C compressor replaced (it did not function when I purchased it). Receiver/Dryer and TXV also replaced at the same time. System has NOT been converted to R134A.

March '11: Distributor cap & ignition rotor installed.

164k miles

The Alfa Milano has a 2.5l V6. The engine is super smooth and sounds great. It has a rear mounted transaxle for better weight distribution (the C5/C6 Corvette and Ferrari 599 GTB use similar front engine/rear transaxle setups).

The rear drivers side fender has some light damage, as seen in pictures. This occurred during Fiesta last year when some drunkard side swiped my Alfa and my wife's W123 Mercedes overnight. Also, like many cars of this vintage there are some issues with the clear coat, as seen in the pictures. She will also need front tires immediately.

Thanks,

Matthew

I would suggest keeping one of the other barstardos for when the primary car goes down... then just rotate the running one as the othe breaks!

But then I wouldn't be tempting automotive fate....

What fun is that?
