Many of you looked at the SX4 on Ebay in Colorado but the car ended with out any bids. Shipping is so expensive these days its hard to buy a car out of your area. Lucky for me the Dave send me an email that the car had not sold and was in my area so I was able to make a deal and rescue the car. It is a 1 owner car but has been sitting outside for years so it will need complete restoration. It will be on the list to restore after the Turbo wagon, I hope to have the Turbo wagon ready for the 2016 Eagle Motel trip.
Nice save Terry. Rich will be glad to here that the turbo diesel Eagle will come back to life.
Glad to hear it's in line for restorations!
Thanks again for saving it Terry. It looked too nice to go to the crusher at such a young age. And it was Eaglefreek who suggested I get in touch with you abou the car so he gets all the credit.
Sounds like they are going to have to expand the Eagle Motel by 2016!

And I hope Terry will allow me to drive it on the trip!
Good save! I wanted it really bad but I was a little short on the money I have. I'm glad it didn't get pancaked. :eagle:
I was at a scrap yard a few years back when I lived in Colorado, scraping some aluminum storefront frames. A flatbed pulled in with a decent looking SX4. It even had the uncommon skid plate. I asked if it could be bought and they said, no. Once it goes through the gate, it gets crushed.
