Always inspect what you purchase from a private seller. This customer drove 6 hours to purchase a mustang svt cobra and for a good chunk of change. Not even 2 hours headed back home the engine over heated, blowing thick smoke and oil and gave me a call.. I gladly towed the car the remainder of the trip about 4 hours. Once we got there I checked a few things and asked a few questions. This motor had more blow by mixed with oil than a leaf blower with an oil injector.. The exhaust was a white smokey sweet smell to it, It had delayed starting problems and got hot quick. It wasn't hard to tell it had a Blown head gasket and completely worn out rings. Sadly the seller knew the motor was on its last leg and was hoping to get over on someone before it was his issue. Very unfortunate! Always check out what your buying or bring someone with you that can overlook the vehicle. Almost all shops offer a pre purchase Inspection for very little cost or sometimes free, and avoid this happening to you!
So far the call of the year.. HOW this happened I have no idea.. This must've taken some effort. All I can't think of is that the owner mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brakes. And the bent front tie rod made it very difficult. Little did I know this punk kid maybe 19 working for the office sent to clean up the mess thought he was being slick and set his phone up to record me thinking I was going to f**k something up. Yes we caught him and yes we had words. And he no longer has any video 😂 very unprofessional in my opinion. Granite if you were the owner by all means you're welcome to record. I encourage it. I am very careful and professional with my work and other people's property and I take pride in that. I have cameras in the front and back for my safety and the safety of my customers property.
