98 SSEi available for parts etc Front Subframe failure

Post by Katrutt »

I have a one owner 1998 SSEi (Yes, that is the supercharged 3.8) that just recently experienced a front right subframe failure.
So, vehicle not real safe to drive, but I know it has some valuable items left for anyone with a similar vehicle.

The engine/axle have about 250,000 miles, with oil changed every 3000 miles, and supercharger serviced every 40,000 miles. Runs great.
Since car resided in both WI and IN, it does have some rust, but also has many good body panels.
Electrical stuff (power seats, windows, mirrors, radio) works.

Not good or not working are:
- cruise control
- front driver seat has exposed foam (Leather tore)
- rear air suspension
- exhaust from rear axle back is not stock

Anyone interested let me know, otherwise this baby is going to have to go to the salvage yard.

I want it! Do you still have it? I can pay for the freight for the motor and might as well just leave the tranny hooked to it. Course its still in the car. I wonder what a dismantler or mechanic would charge to pull it, or how do I get these parts?? Please IM me and Ill give you my phone and we can discuss? What's your zip code?
