Stopped at a mechanic who diagnosed faulty head gasket.
Son is distraught seeing his 2 years of saving for his first car now going to cost another $3500 and he goes for his license on Monday and now he doesn’t have a car. Good news the mech will let him pay off the repairs. The previous owner said it’s our fault for allowing the car to over heat wtf
As if we had a choice , plus the mech found traces of a sealant(silver flakes) like a product called Fibre lock in the system, sus or what?
Is a good looking car through
