Hey guys, I have a 92 Previa sitting on the driveway. There's something wrong with the engine, I think 1 cylinder is broken? It's "drivable" but it'll be rough, like riding a horse. What are my options to get rid of it? Hopefully with some money in my pocket and not out.

Thanks!

car heaven is a good choice - they make out a receipt for you as a charitable donation, you can use that as a credit against your income taxes... Would probably fetch you more in end-result worth as well.

Swap the engine for a decent working one... and sell it.
You'll get your money back and thensome.

That's exactly what I was thinking... but I might not even be able to sell it at the cost of the engine that I buy...

I picked up a 5 year old engine with 35k on it for about $450 from that big scrap yard. Worth looking into I guess

Dude, PM me I might be interested in taking it off your hands if the engine is the only major thing pooped.
