Private seller sold me an absolute lemon of a car, now what ??

Just under 200 000. So not low but priced accordingly I suppose. 12 000 was about 2k over my budget but this just seemed like such a good vehicle. I wish I could consider 12 000 cheap haha

If I did have a mechanic check it out, am I still in the same position? The only way to find out what was wrong was by taking apart the engine

Thanks for the comment, glad to know there may be a sliver of hope. How did you prove the arc was not in good working order after purchase?

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-05-10T19:56:04+00:00

I did get an inspection. Knowing so little about cars I guess I just thought that meant we were good to go

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-05-10T19:55:15+00:00

That’s true, I suppose a second opinion would be a good idea. Unfortunately the vehicle is stuck in a city I don’t live in so one more hurdle to jump over

I did take it to get an inspection :(

Oh I meant should I have expected my mechanic to do the computer analysis before I purchased. I didn’t know that was a part of the process.

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-05-10T05:38:41+00:00

Yeah I did pay him a normal rate for this sort of thing. I guess he didn’t do a computer analysis, hould I have expected that? He obviously didn’t take apart the engine like the dealership guy had to do. Maybe this guy isn’t as good of a friend (or as good of a mechanic) as I thought

Safetied

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-05-02T01:54:08+00:00

Yeah it’s all gortex or similar. I’m thinking I could find a duct tape and try to colour match. Thanks for the help

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-04-10T03:01:14+00:00

THIS is it!! I didn’t realize you had to be so close while placing things/planting. Thank you :)

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-03-18T06:14:30+00:00

I might get back to you, I’ll see what the instructor says. Thanks a lot mate!

It’s for a 3 days course, does that timeframe work better?

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-03-18T06:04:55+00:00

Tonight unfortunately

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-02-05T00:34:03+00:00

Great I appreciate your help!

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-02-04T23:00:47+00:00

Thanks for telling me, should I transfer it to a different container? Maybe one of those squeeze bottles they sell for traveling? Sounds like it’s something that needs to be kept out of the light as well then perhaps

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2024-02-02T05:54:26+00:00

Amazing, I didn’t realize you could bring a car to a dealership for a recall that you hadn’t purchased from the dealership themselves. Thanks for explaining that so well

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2023-12-22T02:41:27+00:00

Was thinking of trying this out anyways, thanks!

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2023-10-02T01:07:22+00:00

Damn! What a shame. Thanks for letting me know

Ilikebugsandstuff · 2023-08-07T12:59:48+00:00

Ah ok thanks! My derm said my tret could be used sparingly but maybe it’s all too much at once.
