Re: Doing some trading to get a bass boat -- Need advice on not getting ripped off!!!
On a side note... I had a car I got for $300. Drove it for a year and the last day of summer it overheated on me in stop and go traffic. I actually had no idea at the time, but that event damaged the head gasket. About 5-6 months later I decided to sell the car. I got her in the garage, cleaned up and in taking it to get air/gas etc... realized the head gasket problem when smoke was coming off the head gasket/block. I purchased some bars stop leak, put it in and prayed. The smoking stopped and I listed the car for sale indicating it had a head gasket problem. I sold the car for $400 (running, driving, stopping, going, everything worked minus the bright lights and AC) letting him know it was steaming from the HG, and the stop leak was added, which stopped the steaming. No Antifreeze in the oil, and no oil in the antifreeze.
It has now been close to a year, and I see that car all the time. Still going strong, other than the new owner getting into fender benders on regular occasions (every corner is now crumpled).
