Fs: Legnum With Damaged Motor

[Zilch*]

Hi guys, I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Legnum with a damaged VR4 motor for sale.

Name: Stephen

Location: Sydney NSW

Rego: till June 2011

Asking price: $2500 or close offer

Details/Extras:

Midnight purple or Graphite in colour

Driver's seat is a Recaro in good condition

Aftermarket alarm with engine immobiliser and remote locking

Body is in good condition

Paint is mostly in good condition but has sun spots, mostly on the bonnet(shown in photos)

Front plastic bumper has a crack in it(shown in photos)

120,000kms on the clock

VR4 motor is damaged, the car blows some oily smoke out the exhaust while driving it, enough to be a road hazard. My guess is that at least a valve seal is gone and there may be bottom end damage also. A slight tapping can be heard.

Interior is in good condition

All electrics work, moonroof, windows etc

Despite the smoke being blown the car still drives very smoothly, no noticeable loss in power, both turbos still feel fine, 110km on the freeway without any drama.

As you'll see in the photos I'm not trying to hide anything. Basically I want this car gone as I can't afford to buy another motor for it and have it installed as I'm no mechanic. It's a good car just sitting there going to waste. I don't want to part it out as it's too much hassle. This car would suit someone who either has a spare VR4 motor or is a mechanic and can fix it cheaply. Alternatively if you happen to have a Legnum and would like a lot of spares seeing as they're hard to come by, you might also be interested. All mechanicals are in good condition except for the motor

I'll take reasonable offers but nothing silly, the Recaro seat alone is worth something so I don't think this is unreasonably priced. PM me on here and I'll get back to you, I will log on daily. If you however PM me with a low ball offer I won't return the message.

Oh and if you buy it for $2500 I'll include a fresh battery for you

Thanks for looking.
