My car is 2000 9-3 base, 220K miles.
It's misfiring, with cyl 3 at 0 compression. When I asked about a leak-down test, mechanic said I don't need one since 0 indicates need for a valve repair. It doesn't smoke and isn't losing oil more than it has been.
Is this true? Assuming it is would repair be near $2000?
If so I probably need to sell it.
My next question is how much might I ask for it?
I put an ad here for it at $1700 when all it needed was brakes. I've gotten no calls. Over the last few months I've done control arms/sway bar links, brakes/calipers, new tires - intending to drive it a while longer before selling.
I live in an area with few Saabs and fewer mechanics willing to work on them, so there isn't much local demand. I rely on this forum for information and advertising.
Any advice you can give will be appreciated. Thank you.
