Luther,
Hi...I do remember you.  Sorry you haven't found what you're looking for
yet.   I had something happen to me the other day and I would like to get
your input.  While travelling to work on Monday, my "check engine" light
came on.  It has never happened before on this car.   On previous car's I
have owned, it came on and  after checking it out at the dealer it ususally
had something to do with an air breather or some other emission item.   I
didn't panic, but i did want to have it checked out (since i AM trying to
sell it).   Anyway, the dealer said that the computer came up with "EGR
Port" which he said was an emissions item, but that it wasn't as easy to
clean as changing a filter.   After he said it would cost nearly $700
dollars (and a couple of days) to fix, i had a decision to make.   I decided
that since it is my everyday car, it would cost me more than that to have it
fixed (rental car, taxi, or bumming rides), and I couldn't be without it
right now, that i would just sell it for $1000 less and let the buyer (who
probably knows more about it than i do) do the repairs and have a couple
hundred extra for the trouble.  I have decided to alter my ad on AutoTrader
and take $8999.   I haven't done it yet, but i will need to make a decision
within a week or so (ad renewal comes up then).   Since i had some time and
you wrote me back, i thought this would be a great opportunity to get your
input, since you too are a Z lover.

The "check engine" light came on in 2 of my previous cars (not Z's) and i
drove them for a long time after it came on.  Nothing actually bad was
happening to the car, it just meant that the exhaust was not as clean as it
was when new.

PS - I looked into into putting my Z on Ebay once and discovered that if
someone buys a car from a long distance away, there are car transport
companies that will transport a car cross country for a small fee (i checked
from my zip code to 90210, and it was $280 - and that was in a covered
semi-truck).  Just FYI.

Thanks again for the re-post and please let me know what you think about the
light thing.
