tough luck, especially since it sounds like you bought it from a random shop/person..sounds like you're gonna have to bite the bullet somewhere..

part out?

arkanist · 04-23-2018, 03:13 PM

Part out or buy another junkyard motor and hope it does better this time.

What help are you asking for, money?

8RZ · 04-23-2018, 03:22 PM

Apply for credit or a loan, work more hours at the job, etc.

Just please don't start a gofundme...

My thoughts exactly.
Sounds like you need to have a long chat with the place you bought your car from.
Still, either you have bad luck or you fucked with it and want free money. Who knows.
Like others said, get a bank loan out, credit card, extra work, sell some stuff, etc.

Come on guys, let's buy him an engine.

Btw, I could use some financial help with my home remodel.

Sounds like you should be having a conversation with who you bought the car from, investigating your local lemon laws and fraud regulations, and possibly involving your state attorney general's office. This isn't a problem solved by spending money and moving along, you got screwed based on what you said.

You bought a car with an engine vin # that did not match the car's vin #? What kind of deal did you get on it?

Sapphireho · 04-23-2018, 06:08 PM

I don't know about your state, but used "as is" means exactly that where I live.

Are you Nigerian by chance?

Summerwolf · 04-23-2018, 06:25 PM
