I was looking at a car I might be able to buy and fix for cheap.... So I emailed the guy.


1)From: james(walperstyle@hotmail.com)

reply: Not sure I haven't taken a look Under The car

Do you treat all cars with this neglect? Find out please.


reply I got the car last winter for the purpose of driving it till it dies.seeing how it died I couldn't really be bothered crawling underneath the car in the winter and see where it's coming from seeing how I have no intentions of fixing it.



I was about to email back "hey, retard, I'm the guy that might have an intention of fixing it, and as a buyer, would like to know what you are selling first.... how about that"... but its not worth it.

for sale advertisment is gone, guessing he found out its worth more a scrap. Shame though. Sure a 99 Buick isn't anything special, but a simple head gasket fix and wash could have made it worth at least $1000.

Provided the head and block were still in good condition and no other problems that it might have had that the seller "couldn't be bothered to crawl under the car and check".

Think of it as you might have dodged a bad buy from a dumbass seller. :)
If its worth doing, its worth overdoing.

I call people as I see them. The car was listed for $100 or something to that effect. He was lazy.

whats even more of a shame it probably has a back intake . That plastic thing was notorious for burning at the EGR port and causing it to appear like it had a head gasket blown . Fixed a many of them and only had one of them actually damage the head gasket .
