Def a V6 with a slight taste of rice. I doubt they'll get a cent over 1800 for it.

Ya, I'm prolly gonna get a New 4wd Tundra or some kinda 4wd crew cab truck 1st then let her go. I'm about ready to get out of the fast car scene anyway (prolly cuz my car's not fast to begin with) but ya I'm just going to invest the $ in an ira or somethin ? I'm waiting on a few call backs from a Toyota dealer and GMC dealer. You know how I feel bout the new body GM trucks tho (styling) but I'll be picking up something here within the next week or so.(Be nice if I can catch a flight and get to work).

Early model 3.8 v6's had a two piece DS. I dont see why the second one is a scam, it is just an ugly car. By now the the first one is removed.
