I appreciate your thoughtful response. You could put me in the "I read that with synthetic oil you could go 12,000 miles without an oil change" category. So the death of the engine is completely of my own doing. I also drove the car fairly hard and put ~20k a year on it for 3.5 years. Call me naive, but I guess I never realized insurance didn't cover engine failure, but now I understand why. So anyway I'm in a $5500 hole with a car that I loved despite all the problems it gave me over the years. I bought it used CPO in 2006. The good thing about the '96 9000 is that i know its history. My boss' wife has driven it around town for the past 16 years, babied it, and put 65k miles on it. For $2500, i figure if i baby it too, i could probably get another 50-75k out of it, if not more. What do you think? It's a nice classic car in great shape, a steal for $2500 if you ask me.
