ok, i guess since this is third time asking ill just post it here:

Well the guy whole sold me the car was my best friend. He had it. His dad didn't want him buying used but he did it cause his son wanted it. So he knew nothing about cars or what to check for, and the car was in terrible condition besides the inside and outside of the car. Anyways. 5k miles later both front and back suspension went out. Oil gasket started leaking on driveway. His dad said he couldn't keep the car in driveway so he made him park like 2 blocks away lol. Then he got like 4 check engne lights. And then the motor started shaking it needed brakes. So my friend said screw this car I want new. And grabbed a cobalt ss. And was embarrassed to try and trade it in and left it in his dads warehouse where it sat for 1.5 years. Soooo I needed another car and randomly asked him what he did with the c,ar he said its sitting in storage and my dad wants it out. I said what's wrong with it. He told me. I was like oo lots of labor but fairly easy. Him and his dad are not mechanically inclinded so he said let's call the junk yard and see what they'll give me...we did they said 450. I said ill g8I've you 5. He said deal. This is where we are at now. About 800 dollars into the car with purchase its about to be tip top shape.
