Countdown (Or Up) In Earnest Begins

There was a small amount laying in the bottom of the engine compartment after todays use.
I've already received a $1000.00 offer for the car.

sad to see you go. so what do you have in mind to replace it with? if you lived closer to me i would give you a grand for it just to use it as a parts car! only two dilemmas would be first off you said you had a lot of the original parts on the car! other one is that i may be moving cross country soon, and where i will be moving when i do move will not have a yard big enough for it!

Seems like fixing the problem would be much more cost effective than selling it for a grand, then spending who knows how much on a new car?
Awesome to see an xb get so many miles without needing an engine rebuild, goes to show that maintenance really does go a long way!
Have you tried any "stop leak" in the coolant? As far as I can tell, its basically liquid copper that fills in any crack where coolant would be escaping.

The 'buyer' did jump on $1000 real quick like. He's my mechanic, so pretty much knows the car.
I really don't know what to replace it with. Used car prices are out of this world. That, and I've gotten pretty comfortable not have payments for over 2 years now. I actually have a couple of Buick Reattas to drive (and also to sell), plus a 1960 Datsun pickup. So I have time to watch for a 'perceived good deal'.
And with oil prices appearing to be heading for a new high........who knows?

Knock On Wood! I put a 'stop leak' product in the coolant system about 500 miles ago. So far I've not had to add coolant. I'm guessing this is will only be a tempory fix, alloying me to 'shop' for Camoritaville's replacement.

So, the guy I "sold" it to will have to wait a bit longer.
That said, If I found a nice, low mile, 06 xB I'd might be tempted to get the checkbook out.

Maybe when it just doesn't want to go any further I'll use like a shed.

But I don't think I can buy another. I can't believe the dome light burned out already
Seriously, haven't been searching for a replacement very hard. I'm hoping I can make this one last till Spring now. That way, my normal car fever will kick in just in time.
