I just lost humanity today!
I was selling a car on fb market, the guy came to look.
I donāt want to believe people are evil so I showed my car, let him drive, he loved it
He was willing to buy it but he noticed there is oil everywhere and a milky engine oil telling me it may have head gasket issue and it will be expensive to fix
He offered me half of original price
I like to trust people but not naive so I told him that I will fix on my own and sell it
He said ok but let him know if I change mind because he can fix it cheaper
My car was showing the misfire engine light, and all kinds of warning signs when I turned off and on the car
It was Friday afternoon so I had to wait till Monday for auto shops to open
During weekends he would keep calling me to pressure me that it is $6000+ to fix and towing so he would want at least $6500 off of the car value
My heart couldnāt take the lowballing, it was almost my ego at this point
I took my car to the shop on Monday and he told me the car was fine, but it looked like someone tried to sabotage my car
Oil wasnāt even leaking, somebody spread oil everywhere on the engine surface, poured water on the tip of oil cap that looks like oil is mixed but coolant is fine.
Then for final blow, 2 plugs on cylinder were loose. Asif somebody purposefully plugged out
All the misfirings and warnings on my car magically gone when those two plugs were plugged back on
But auto shop told me he still will flush the engine oil and check couple more stuff just to make sure
I lessened my lessonā¦you shouldnāt try to trust people on the internet!
