Was with a buddy at a car show - we had dropped off his rare Defender 90 at the dealership for service the day before... he gets a call from them -- "do you know where your car is?" He says -- "No, Don't you".... Nope -- someone had nabbed if from the dealers lot!

They found the truck months later at a chop shop - or I should say they found parts of it. In the meantime the insurance had bought him a new one.
Exactly Greg, it's just a steed, now its a contaminated one, "just check the car fax " comes too mind.....but yeah, now I get to buy a better Garmin, head unit, tools etc....not to mention "pulling vehicle"....

Mike,

I know it's an LS and all, but it would still slow the LORD way down.



So, to replace it, would you look for a super clean TBSS...or ?

Also, I know a few Saabs had that motor too ... if they appeal to you.

The Saab is nice, and yes same driveline but other service items come into play and the lack of parts and dealer network (none lol) make that a no.

May wait a few, see how this plays out with State Farm and get a used Cayenne GTS, maybe. Want to drive one first.
My TBSS was super clean with a coilover kit on it and real nice sound system, still bummed, but like it says on a post-it on my computer "I dont always like His will, but His will be done..."
so we'll see....

The Saab 97x is still serviceable at any GM dealership. And parts are still available.

On the Cayenne, look for 2 Major things; #1 Coolant Pipe (Plastic into Aluminum and #2 Driveshaft.

Common Problems with known aftermarket fix's

If your here in Norcal Im surprised it didnt come up missing here!

Another board im on about 3 months ago a guy said his came up missing in concord area and was found stripped in Oakland. I guess Oakland pd informed this guy that it was the 26th TBSS recovered in a 2 month window. Thats 1 every other day!

Hope thy find yours in one piece!

The deputy in LA (norwalk) looked at me (once he found out it was a TBSS) and shook his head, he knows. Sux but yeah, the same can be said for around here. I'm mostly in the trivalley area and its pretty quiet for the most part, but no doubt these things are marked!!!
