Quiz: define "blocked engine"

Not exactly sure what to make of this, but I do know that this guy won't return my email inquiries about this car.

I'm still trying to figure out what a "blocked engine" might be...ideas?

I have a beautiful 1984 mercedes benz 300D turbo deisel that is in almost mint condition.Does not run,I sent it to a mechanic and they told me that it will take almost $1,000 to fix it.If fixed it is worth at least $15,000 to $25,000.As i told you the interior is 100 percent.Asking 1000 but could go down to 950 but no less.Please email me at dedaj586@yahoo.com .the mechanic said that is has a blocked or blown engine.

Translation: This guy is an idiot.

Dude...your response was timely. I went back to re-read the post, then clicked back to this site to see your response. I burst out loud (the wife is not as amused, half asleep on the couch next to me).

Thank you, sir.

Probably mixing terms. I suppose he was told his engine is blown and he needs a new block.

This is not even e-bay and the price is out of sight. oh that is if the mech. fixes it for a $1000, the it jumps from $950 to 15 to $25,000? he forgot the 50 MPG part.

your right BGKAST, the guy is an idiot.

Could he mean "seized engine"? But if it's "blown" or seized, how could it be repaired for a mere $1000?
