so for the past three months my xj has been having issues. started off running really bad, which turned into lots of money being spent on her. which turned into it not running at all, which turned into more money. which turned into me running out of ideas on how to fix it. which then tuned into the mechanic screwing me over, which today turned into it being taken back to the car lot it was purchased from. now its on its way to the crusher, my debt to them is absolved, and my heart broken. now the hunt is on for a replacement xj

r.i.p. Valkyrie best damn station wagon i ever knew

 

Sorry to hear that.

 

Jeeze. Straight to the crusher? Seems harsh.

 

Only so many things that can go wrong. What was wrong with it?

 

thats the thing we couldn't figure it out spent 2 half months trying to fix it my self, to no avail, and when the mechanic told me 1300 to 5000 to fix it depending on if they had to replace the engine or not i couldn't afford it no more so i worked a deal out with the lot we got it from and called it a wash. now i'm stuck to driving my wifes 98 neon. haha

 

Sounds like you got the shaft.

$1500 would go a very long way on an XJ.

 

I paid 1400 for my whole cooling system...=/ but sorry to hear man

 

Holy crap! I can replace my entire system for less than $250!!!!

 

yeah if i had more money. and was a little better mechanic i would just replace the motor my self but thats out of my price and knowledge range, but i'll find a Valkyrie the second and go from their
