Help
I am torn though
say its not really his to sell?

I hear the same noise inmy engine & worse
It might just be nothing
or they both are clunkers

It's the first I've seen & I have a few in $3000 range to check

The engine was so big cluttered
so many thngs in it
looks like a nightmare to work on
well compared to my empty Volvo compartment
simple lots of room

It went reverse foward ok
I just was able to drive foward & back in his driveway
seemed smooth
does have a gas type exhaust stink

I had him depress gas
I checked exhaust it was clean without smoke

gauges said oil pressure & temp was fine

Oil looked good

How much can you tell about an engine from oil pressure?
can heads still be worn?

One thing I didn;t like was rust on the hubs of the front parts that have the belts
the housing was rusted
very odd as the rest of the car was really clean

Ooooh
Help

it won't last long
Brown wasn't so bad
has the red fire extinguisher too

do you mean the wheels are ok
the smd?
or the car in general?

I think the $3K was todays deal & he can't get records
but do I take a chance?
I'd like to find a really clean one silver lower miles
I just can't trust what he says
seems like things don't match up

arrrghh

Thanks everyone


there was a womans name on the title
guess brown was ok
