97 still for sale

I'm still trying to sell it. The price has come down a ton. It is black w/tan interior w/95K. The interior/exterior are in good shape. No dents or rips. Everything works like new and the car drives beautifully. The only thing that I can think of is that it ocassionally pauses between the time that you turn the key and when the motor cranks. The tires are at least 80%. It is all original without any mods. I just replaced the drive belt last night. I'm in the Portland, OR area. I am hoping to get $4000. If anyone is interested, please post here or email me at [email protected]. Thanks.

Re: 97 still for sale

Sounds like all it needs if a $50 fuel pressure regulator.

Good luck with the sale

I should have mentioned that it doesn't have the Bose system or the moonroof. Also, the wheels and exhaust in some of the photos are not on the car anymore, just OEM stuff.

That's something I threw together with some Flow Tech Afterburners. It sounded really deep but the funny thing was it sounded exactly the same as with no mufflers at all. I think I threw the thing away because it was too big to ship.

My buddy offered me a deal on a 91 Q45 w/parts car that I couldn't pass up. The Aurora just feels too big and floaty for me, while the Q feels much more nimble. I would like to give the Aurora to my wife, but its too difficult to park for her after driving a minivan for so long.

Re: 97 still for sale

How would an Aurora be harder to park than a minivan? Aren't they about the same size?

I used to think the same thing until I bought my Aurora! I never realized that it is longer than my Ford Expedition by about an inch and a half. So yes, it would be harder to park than most minivans if you are not used to the length.

Our minivan, aToyota Previa, has the front seats high up and in front similar to the old VW Bus. So it is very easy to see what you are doing. My wife is short and it is very hard for her to see the sloping front end of the Aurora.

Re: 97 still for sale

I can see about the sloping front end if you're not used to it.

This minivan talk is depressing me though. My wife keeps wanting to replace my aurora with a Freestar since we have kid #2 on the way. I wanna at least hold out until the third is in sight. My baby's got another 100k in her easy (she ought to, damn near all new by now...).

Re: 97 still for sale

I wish you were closer. I would defintiely offer you between 3500.00 and 4000.00. But the delivery charges would be extremely expensive for me. I'm in the Midwest.
