car with a busted engine on Craigslist. FBCoachSC®, can you give me a crash course in negotiating with your peoples---I'm assuming that's who will be calling and showing up.
It's my intention that if I don't get murdered in the process, this will make for some excellent lunge/drinking stories. thnxbye

Be sure to clarify whether the air conditioner knob conveys with the car.

You'll need to talk to them about how much equity they will have in the car.

Got an awesome knock now. Don’t feel like throwing any more money at it. He did a good job getting some good scholly money so going to get something a little newer and nicer to send him off to school in this fall. Lemme tell you what an awesome time it is to be getting bargains on used cars.

the car market, and essentially the world is ending.
Why even bother buying him a car? From what i read from some, we're on the precipice of a "walking dead" scenario.
But in case that's all really exaggerated because tribal politics and these folks saying that are welcoming a bad economy to make our current admin look even worse than they do..should I take it the used car market hasn't softened any?

Bad bearing, probably a rod bearing.

A crank bearing would freeze and a broken rod would shut most engines down. I've never seen one running with a broken rod. All I've ever seen when through the cylinder wall. I've seen a couple sticking through the side of the engine.
