VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
The car was not quite what I expected in daylight......right fender looked hail damaged.....had a ding in the right door!! On top of that the engine ran like CRAP......sputtering and even missing on a couple cylinders.......but the KILLER was every time he depressed the clutch it sounded like someone under the hood with a bat banging on the frame.......all in all.....a......HORRIBLE experience!!
A 585 mile 11 hour round trip pulling the car hauler and I'm ready for a drink and a good night's sleep.......will continue my search soon!!
UGH!!!

 

[DetMatt1]

Huge bummer, sorry to hear that! Did the seller lie or just not tell the whole truth?

 

[Coosawjack]

He's 75 and practically an invalid.......car sat for 5 years according to him......that's really all I know but $45K is ridiculous!!

 

[Coosawjack]

He emailed me today and apologized for "Going Off" on me and said he has found out the engine has a BLOWN HEAD GASKET...no wonder it ran like crap!!
He also said he has a friend that will fix it if/when he gets the $$$'s to do it......engine may be ruined since nobody knows how long it's had a blown head gasket??
Ya cannot just let cars sit for years and expect them to be OK!!
