    What to do with my Touring?


    Well, my Son has backed off of wanting my touring. 380,000 miles on her and drives like she's on rails,,car looks like it's been pampered all of her life. Engine has about 150kmiles along with the trans. Only pitfall are the cats. Tires are good and it drives fine around town and short trips, out on the interstate is where things can start to get a bit haywirer ...No dealership will take her because of the miles , and she's too nice to drive to the junk yard crusher

    glad to see it stayed in "the family." Maybe I missed something else, but why not keep it, too many cars?

    Man, the car runs like a champ, and does handle like it is on rails!!! Thanks for the deal!!! Had it at well over a hundred a few times on the way home, was real fun up in the mountains. As stiff as those Bilstein HD’s are,it works well in the smooth twisties, but there are a few roads out here in Northern VA that are under construction, a bit bone jarring, but overall not too bad, the new subframe bushings are awesome, they were quite bad in my old wagon. Not a bad $500 car at all!!!

    Glad all is well, and hope that the ride lasts a long time for ya. Those twists and turns on Mt roads are what I tried to build her for, and where she really shines. I grew up on roads like that, deep in the Blue Ridge Mts
