Yep sold it and miss it.. The guy did get a great car.. So I had the car about 16 months.. Paid $4800 for it.. The first 12 months were good but the last 4 have emptied the pockets and made me :dontknow: :angry7: :sad5: :crybaby2: :angry4: :BangHead: :violent1: :tard: :fart: :huh: :angry:......About 2 weeks ago I listed my car for sale for the price of $5700.. The car was 90% sold this Sunday until the potential buyer got outta the car after the test drive and said he smelt anti-freeze... There was nothing leaking so he checked the oil.. 1 quart too full and green/white/brown oil... That scared him away and left me very :dontknow:

The car ran as good as it should have but it wasn't " fast " enough.. When is it ever? Hey I wanna see 12's this season so lets get a vortech and put it on a 113k car.. That should do it.. It would have.......... But this happens

Spoiled the plan and emptied my pockets....

After the head gaskets were changed the car was fine besides having an anti-freeze issue twice, which a new radiator cap solved...... So $13,000+ dollars in receipts

later, I got fed up and realized the car is worth $5,000 why dump all this money into it? Rims, tie rods, sway bars, gears, aluminum driveshaft, mufflers, allignments, tunes, suspension, headlights, tires, paint, brakes, etc... Decided I would either wait till spring and get the heads checked and gaskets replaced, put the car back to stock and list it at $5200 and sell the supercharger kit seperately for $1400 or sell the car now for $3700 as is without any rims/tires on it.. I decided on selling it how it sits now for $3700... I went this route because if by chance the problem still happens after the gasket change it would prob mean theres a crack in the block resulting in wasting all that money on gaskets ( again ) and having to buy a 302 block.... Time, Cost, and Labor would kill me.. I figured i'd be better off just cutting my losses and move on..

It went through a good amount of changes::

Should have torn into it then since you think it wasn't blown. Whats the worst that could happen. You sell all the parts off of it and sell the car as a roller and Make more then 3850 on it :(

i still can't believe you sold the car for that and it most likely could have just been a head gasket. You need a NEW car with a WARRANTY but then you'll still be sinking more money into that than you would have put into this one. 20k for a new car with a warranty with financing and you'll be paying 25-28k by the time you're done for a stock car. My honest opinion is you should have bought you a beater and tore into this thing and learned something about it and fixed the problem areas. anyways.. just my thoughts.. do some good shopping around and find you a good low mile stock fox or something.

I think you should have held out or parted it out and made $$$$ off it. He is probably just laughing right now. No offense but you really should have thought this through more i think.

Offer him a hundred bucks for his time, tell him you aren't looking for more money, and realized you made a mistake selling the car altogether, and give him his check back. Good chance he'll say no, but there are plenty of people out there that would do the latter.

It sucks that you got fustrated with your goals, and the car didn't work 100%. I know it would definitely suck if you find out that the problem was very minor. I think you should look for another mustang something with lower mileage, probably get a better experience.
