The X is Dead!

[Rons04x]

Alright everyone the day after Christmas, while driving to work the thermostat on the X crapped out, causing all the engine coolant to leak out and thus frying the engine/warping the head. Some of you remember that the engine on my X was recently replaced (March 2011), but unfourtanetly this engine was a month past its warranty. After some pondering i decided to let go of the X it honestly was the best decision. I had plans to trade the X in fr a Subaru WRX in April of 2012 so ive decided to buy a cheap 07 Scion TC for now untill this summer well ill have money saved up for a Subaru.

I loved my X but it gave me way too many problems. So for now im out of the X game but someday donw the road ill have a 2nd gen for sure!

BTW i will be putting for sale my 2in BL / Roof Basket/ Steelies with the BFG AT on them (<6000 miles).

Nah i sold the X to Nissan for $2500 and bought the TC for $7k so i owe $5k on it the TC now. Thats why it was cheap lol it only has 84k on it and it kinda fun to drive.

Im sure you could drive lead footed and have fun in that thing and still get a lot better mpg than your X.

:tears:

Sorry to hear Ron. I really loved your X

Glad to hear you are working your way to a Subie WRX though. That IS without a doubt the only car I would ever buy... and get it as close to the WRC rally car as I could

You are a valuable asset to the X community and you are always welcomed here.

That really is a bummer man. I'd just call yourself Xterra Alumni and stick around :w00t:

 

[civicjoe]

wow dude that totally sucks,
im down with the wrx!
Ratts right its the only car id buy too

 

[Jmac289gt]

Crap man, sorry to hear about the problem and hope to see you back in an X one day soon.

 

[J Everett]

That sucks. But, I guarantee you'll love a WRX. Just as long as you leave it alone. The transmission can't handle much more than stock power before the sychros destroy themselves. Unless you get an STi. The 6-speeds in those are bombproof.

I couldn't do a car again unless it was back to a muscle car. Shoot, I can't imagine driving anything else but the X right now. If mine were to be wrecked today I'd be buying another one for sure. *knock on wood*

 

[Rons04x]

Thanks guys, im sure ill be around, cause ive definetly met some awesome people on the X forums!

Ditto what Mac said above, + on the "Xterra Alumni" part. Every once in a while you get a vehicle that's just flat-out not-quite-right. Sounds like the best thing was to move on for now...

Don't forget all of us here in X land (sniff!) and enjoy the better gas mileage that you MUST be getting with the new car! LOL

 

[Timrich]

Ron, I'm really sorry to hear about the X. Good luck on the Subi and keep us posted on when you get it... Hope you stick around!
