Bought an older car.... engine BLOWN!
 

Fuck, what a way to ruin my day. Found out a car I bought has a blown engine. Nightmare!

</vent>

:1orglaugh hehe
Not good!

what is it? is it a classic?

In 2006, a woman working in Taco Bell was fingering her coochie in the office. However, an employee walked in on her and saw her doing it. Her, being shocked, never dared to experience an orgasm again. Now that you've read this, if you don't re-post this to 3 other threads, she'll cast a curse on you and never allow you to experience a true, full orgasm ever again. Also, you may never get laid, ever/ever again!

98 cavalier. body and interior mint condition. engine had 152k miles, thrown piston.

Got steal on it, so its still worth it. But what a pain in the dick, I tell ya.

An american made 4 cyl. with 152k miles on it....go figure.

How can you buy a car with a blown engine and not know that before you purchased it?

I got a 1972 Dodge Dart Custom.......for free hooray for me

Didn't notice the blue smoke coming out the back? Victoria's great..no AirCare.

can you resell it to some dumbass?
:)

That sucks dude...

thats what the last guy did

why would you want a 98 cav?

Didnt you test drive the car?

thats quite a purchase.

That was my Line...:thumbsup

now you can get it fixed..just find a tool and die guy..they canusually bore it out

i assume this is a hobby car?

gee, a 98 cavalier with 152k miles on it? I wouldn't take a piece of shit like that for free... registration/title/plates/insurance/etc would cost more than the car is worth... :1orglaugh

Oh good, I was hoping it wasn't the BMW... I have a history of destroying friends engines :(

I hope you got a hell of a deal. My car dealer buddy just sold a 2003 Cavalier with 70,000 KM for $5900 Canadian, and he was still making almost $2K profit at that price. And the engine wasn't blown.

well he's certainly a man of his convictions. Its one thing to thump your chest and explain that you won't do business with me when you have money but when you're out their buying a 98 cavalier with 152k miles, you're a true man of conviction to turn down my money.

Hm? Don't think I've ever talked to you outside of GFY. Not sure what you're rambling about.

And yes, it's a project car. I have 3 cars that run just fine. :thumbsup

LOL !!!!! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

yeah, they are in such high demand

rambling? hahaha. check out the babble below

so the mail boy for a top 50 internet company now scraped enough cash together to get himslef a new ride.

I'm impressed.:1orglaugh

if your traffic could buy you a sweet ride like this, imagine what sending it to me could have bought me!:1orglaugh

dude puts spinners on it, he's got something!

Man that fucking sucks

ah, I forgot about spinners . . . are they still using them elsewhere? I don't think they use them in SoCal any more

if you're buying an out of date car, why not out of date accoutrements?:1orglaugh

Errr.... good for you?

You're a real special boy Teddy. Very special.

I dated a guy who couldn't care less about what people thought about his cars. He'd buy old junkers for <$500, put about $100 or so in work into them, drive them for 6 months, then sell them for $1000+. One of my favorites he had was an old Volare because we could say it had "Rich Corinthian Leather"....Trucks were his favorite though, especially the imports because once he replaced a part or two, they'd be ready to drive another 100K miles. Last I talked to him, he was restoring VW vans for quite a tidy profit. You could hear him from a block away ;)

He also put his Harley together himself. He claimed you couldn't say you were a REAL Harley rider unless you put it together yourself, lol.

He went to Vanderbilt. Not exactly an idiot. Just enjoyed tinkering. Which was great for me because he'd go into the kitchen to get a drink and 20 minutes later all the handles and hinges on my cabinets would be tightened :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

This thread made my day better, thanks Brad!

I could see if it was a Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle, or Caprice Classic...But a CAVALIER??

I'm about to buy a Caprice from a mechanic next week that I looked at today. Rebuilt engine and transmission..All I gotta do is put in AC (a MUST in puerto rico), and a sound system and I'm good to go.

Can you fix it???

start working a second job maybe.

Why do I attract all of the completely retarded stalkers? I'd trade DarkJedi for a 12clicks any day. At least DarkJedi makes half a bit of sense first off, and second off knows what he is talking about.

The stalkers that try to push buttons and don't are just a waste of text.

hahaha. Stalker? Dear child, you'd go completely unnoticed if you didn't post your bullshit in my direction.
I mean really, I only have the mental capacity to keep track of the top 10,000 people in this biz. You're not one of them. You wanted me to notice you, now I have. it will cause one of us grief. guess which one?:1orglaugh

lmfao, my car just died engine is making really bad noices, same fucking car, the body in excellent shape, i had 188k on it thou, and i drove it rough.

this happened last friday.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

a Cavalier? WTF...

No shit, that isn't good, is it?

I still can't figure out why you wanted the car in the first place, no matter what the condition was

Damn!

You had the balls to admit you bought a cavalier.

The car was a piece of shit when it rolled off the assembly line.

who knew ;)

buy toyota next time.

50 blown engines...
