Re: chevy lumina rest in peace

the cylinders cant compress anymore their reccomendation is new engine or new car so i want to sell off the parts on it so i can afford to get a good used one. the tires (7 months) and radiator, cap, and sensor(4 days) are new along with the starter (5 months) im hoping to sell as many of my parts as possible then take the rest up to a junkyard or something

strip it and ebay everything, even parts of the motor, heads, lower intake, plenum, camshaft. You name it, it ca and will be sold on ebay. You will be able to turn a pretty penny if you strip and sell everything.
