Hey how's it going peeps
 My next door neighbour brought a 02 falcon last week off Gumtree, private sale, it was advertised as in excellent condition and had recent receipts for full service, oil, spark plugs, filters and rad flush...no oil leaks, very clean. Her problem is she has only done a few hundred k's and it started over heating badly, she limped it to her local garage, diagnosis is that it has a blown head gasket. She rang the seller(owned car for 3yrs) and asked if there were any issues previously to which he denied there were.....well the mechanics took the head off and have found that chemiweld had been used previously and one of the bores is badly corroded. The mechanics suspect the previous owner had known about this hence the full service and flush prior to selling. What I'm asking on her behalf is "would it be worth trying to get her $$$ back from the seller, does she have a leg to stand on in recouping purchase price or repair costs??" |
