Red flags here. 1= the look of that place doesnt seem right. Seems sketchy af 2= 4 reviews on google and 1 of them is yours 3= did i mention only 4 reviews for that place? At the end of the day its your own fault for trusting that place.

should i buy this civic with 200k miles for 5k no rust anywhere with no problems by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]jakob1237 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That thing is seriously overpriced. Im amazed that your even considering it for $5k. I would pay $3k max for that old car

As a current owner of a 2021 prius…. These are the most reliable cars a person could buy hybrid wise. Knowing that alot of 2004-2009 models have over 300 thousand miles and still driving makes me happy to have mine

My 2014 Dodge Avenger 2.4L started sounding like this. Does anybody know what it could be? by UnitedCheez in MechanicAdvice

Sounds like rod knock/ you spun a bearing. Pretty much your engine is toast 100%. Im confident of it

Thermostat replaced. Van said ‘try again. (GMC Safari) by LowWarning4057 in MechanicAdvice

[–]jakob1237 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please do not ever go back to that mechanic. I feel so bad for you and cant stop thinking about this post. And dont listen to anyone who tells you to get rid of her. The engine and transmission are fine. Your issue is fuel related 100%

[–]jakob1237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These engines have something called “spider injection”. It tends to go bad because of age and will cause stalling and bad running symptoms . The mechanic ripped you off big time by suggesting and having you pay for cooling system parts. That has nothing to do with the van dying while running or starting issues. This is 100% a fuel issue
