Well...Guess I'm just looking for some advice. After being a dilligent oil checker and proud VX owner for 4 years, I laspsed. Too many extraneous things going on (divorce, surguries, last parent about to pass, forclosure).

With all my drama, I lapsed in checking my oil (although it was not burning alot recently). It got a bottom end knock last Tues. After checking, it needed 3.5 qts of oil. I then changed it and there were shavings in it. It'll need a new engine shortly. At least for the immediate future, I do not have the 3-6K it'll take to do that.

It was my remaining "pride and joy" possesion. I'd really love to save it and I may still try (even if i have to garage it for awhile to come up w the $). But with everything else, it might have to go.

Guess I'm just checking on my options. Any budget swaps doable?
Any ideas on a price for selling it as is? Any thoughts on what parting it might bring?
