Hi everyone. Im new to this site so i hope I have this listed in the right place.

I have been trying to sell my 1988 Mazda 626 turbo with no success. Where I live most people drive luxury cars and this doesn't quite fit in with the ritzy folks around here. So I figured I'd try and sell it here with people that like these cars.

I just got done putting on a brand new (not rebuilt) stage 1 head, brand new head gasket, brand new timing belt and tensioners and all new gaskets and o-rings from the block up. It's runs and drives good. Clutch is good. The only problem I have come across is at WOT she sputters. I would assume its because i did not replace the spark plugs and regap them. So I would suggest new plugs. I bought the car from an auction with a blown head gasket and was planning on using the car for customers to use when we were doing custom builds for them. $20k to $30k jobs take a long time to do. So with a fun fuel efficient but fast car they are more inclined to bring us the work to do since they knew they had a reliable car to use.

Unfortunately my wife and I were involved in a near fatal car accident that nearly kill me and my family. Chicks, cell phones and texting DO NOT MIX! Well to make a long story short my body just can't keep up with the way I did things so Im looking at selling my business and doing work that is less labor intensive. Now coming back to the car. As you can see I no longer need this car and would like to see it go somewhere and to someone who will use it and drive it. I hate to see any car sit and that's what this car has done...sit in my shop. I drive it every once in a while to keep things fresh but it really needs to go.

Call me or text me at 443-821-1308 if you want to know more of see the car in person. I have a lot more pictures too. I also have it listed on Craigslist too if anyone wants to see it. See below.

I am sympathetic of your situation, Christian, however.... (the standard spiel)

My apologies. I did not mean to disobey your rules. I saw someone else's thread about a car for sale a few questions under mine and I thought it was ok. Please accept my apology.

 

Christian,
No apologies necessary, but thanks.
If you can comply with the other rules, re: signed pictures; location; contact info, etc, the thread will remain up.

 

Ok. I thought I did that by posting a direct link to my Craigslist listing. Im also about to relist it back up on eBay too. Is it ok that I do that or do I still need o repost the pictures here too? I use picup on my iPhone and the app makes the pictures huge which is why I didn't do that. Let me know if you would still like me to do that. Thank you.
