Finally Have A Reason to Get Rid of the X5!!

[Ricky Bobby]

sure I'll take the 4.6 with bad chain guides, I'll ship it out to my indy to do the work.

Problem is, i won't be paying you top dollar for it.

You might try a shady sale to a local with no test drives, but if you drive it much its really a ticking time bomb, and we already know how rare the 4.6 engine is (and a lot it seems have been dying lately), gosh i hope you let it go cheap enough to a member on the boards who can fix it up nice, drive it and enjoy it!

What other maintenance does it need and what are the color combo/options/specs on it and how many miles?

Well of course I won't get top dollar for it if I don't fix it, that's a no brainer. If I get the SRT8 sooner rather than later I don't care, I would just want to get it out of my garage. I didn't drive it and won't drive it, I'm driving my C5 Corvette for my daily driver, plus it's a lot more fun rowing through that 6spd gearbox...lol! Here's a list of what I've done and what it needs.

What I've Done.
Jan 2011: New Ceramic Brake Pads and 4 Rotors
June 2011: Installed BG Front Lowering Springs, Rear Lowering Links
Mar 2011: New Bosch +4 Plugs
July 2011: Upgraded All Lights to LED, both Interior and Exterior, my X has no filament light bulbs at all, Fogs are HID 4300K
Aug 2011: Installed Powerflex Thrust Rod Bushings
Oct 2012: New water pump and both Belts
Nov 2012: Replaced Vavle Cover Gaskets
Jan 2013: Replaced Radiator, Expansion Tank and all cooling system hoses
July 2013: Upgraded the Cargo Cover to the retractable type
Aug 2013: Replaced Alternator

What it needs
1. Front passenger Outside Door Handle and window clips need replacing, I have the clips.
2. Right Rear Window Regulator, I have the part.
3. Left Rear Outside Door Handle
4. And of course Timing Chain Guides

Well with 200k miles, I guess you got your moneys worth out of the original guides? LOL!
