Car has 68,000 Bay Area highway miles and a fried 1.8L engine. I paid $1,700 for the car and $800 for an LKQ engine with 29k miles.

Are you just replacing the stock 1.8?

once you remove the old engine we need a pic of you in the empty engine bay and or video of you in engine bay making engine noises.

Yes. Not enough room for an LS7.

QR25 swap! Too late, but a Versa Spec V would’ve been neat

Nope. Pure practicality.

Where I live, you can’t do that because of neighborhood covenants.

What are your plans with the car? Drive it? Sell it?

The engine on the pallet is the LKQ replacement. I can’t say how Nissan it looks, but that car sure is nice to work on.

O.C. does not approve of fascism. Or neighborhood associations.

But if I had your garage, I could do it there.

Sell it at cost to First Spawn of O.C..

Yeah, I don’t know Nissan engine designations. That’s really all I was trying to say. Is it a newer engine? Moar powah?

Same engine, fewer miles. Chassis is 68k, but engine is 29k.

My hope is for a cute, dependable, half-price car for an adult daughter in graduate school. I’ll let her buy it from me at my cost by making payments.

That’s what the faded blue ‘71 GMC van in the background is for.

Well shit.

I’d been imagining that you bought a 2012 Versa Sedan. This is quite the plot twist.

I’d have preferred a sedan, but this is what popped up. $2500 with the LKQ engine, but needs tires.
