"Possible engine bearing" isn't super reassuring, but that's ~$500+ in Style 32 wheels, plus the M-sport interior, plus 6 speed swap in parts would probably cover fees pretty easily. Or, find another engine and do maintenance outside of the car and quick-swap it in. 

Its probably the timing chain guides.  Pretty common for 150k+ M62 engine.

Not an easy fix but is fixable

I have the timing chain tool kit. It wasn't *that* bad...

If that was in my neighborhood, I'd totally buy it. Dash pic shows engine running, only a couple missing pixels, and no warning lights.

Man, I used to want one of those *SO*BAD*. They're not what they used to be since every v6 Camry and minivan is faster, but having a stick shift is so cool in a big sedan. I've got two kids now, though, so sedans aren't too useful for me. Using this as a 6-speed swap donor for a wagon would be choice, though!

i want to find one of these to get parts for my challenge car

Staggered Style 32 are worth $800 these days. That's a deal even if you part it out.

Smoking deal on an awesome sleeper.
