What color is it?

You gonna part it out or throw a new motor in it? If I could find a good 4.6is motor I would definitely be doing the swap but I don't see any, especially locally. But yes I will sell it for pretty cheap. The black leather/alcantera interior... I will miss it, that is all I can say

Depends on the price and general condition. You are right on finding one local being difficult. Most likely have to ship one.

Saw this on craiglist x5 20" wheels style 87 staggered for $400 all four wheels. Looks like factory wheels but you can never know for sure.

First time posting here, just picked up a '03 3.0 a month ago.

Bought the wheels from this ad today, feel like I got a pretty good deal! There is a bit of curb rash on a couple of them though, any recommendations on a Seattle area shop to repair them?

Hiya, Seattle X Outposters. I'll be there tomorrow (I hope). Staying downtown until the start of August. :wavey:

Very nice! You should be in for some excellent Seattle weather. Save travels tomorrow and look out for the troopers.

You certainly got a great deal! I bought the same type of wheels a couple of years ago for $900. Those wheels go for like 2.5k on ebay.

For repair, check out Corey at Xtreme Wheel repair tel 425-327-1152. He'll make them look like new. He did a perfect job fixing mine and his price is great- something like $70 a wheel for rashes last time I was there.

He has great reviews:

I bought my 4.6 engine for $5k shipped from California. The cost of the swap was around $4,700.

For $10k and some patience you can buy another 4.6is.

Now,the cost of a well running 4.4 is about a grand. I've heard of people salvaging the 4.6 heads and cams to turm the 4.4 into a 4.6. You save about $4k that way. This guy went the opposite way and used the 4.4 heads on a 4.6 block:
