we were sold a car with a known bad engine. it made me furious as we cannot get a refund.
things like this happen all the time
there is no warranty with private used cars. my hubby is a mechanic and saw no issues and drove it..however he then saw oil leaking when we got home and they had used the neon stuff all over the engine previously he saw under the black light..so they knew the engine was bad. so awful! we do not have a car now
