GOT HUGE PROBLEMS..NEED ADVICE AND HELP PLEASE READ ON
Hey I'm Brandon new to this site but not to preludes unfortunately. I just bought my 3rd one its a 99 model and when i say jus bought i mean like at around 830 earlier tonight and well when i was talkin to tha guy before i bought it through text and email, he told me that he jus replaced tha motor cv joints um tha ball joints brand new radiator..i cant even remember what all it was. Anyways its on craigslist , little rock arkansas.
So ya when i got there which was a hour and a half away, close to a hundred miles tha car was sittin there purrrrrrin like a fat ass ca. Just so no confusion it was idling perfectly. So me and my uncle took a look under tha hood anyways, checked the plugs, plug wires, oil, radiator and coolant level, trans fluid, everything that we could right then and there and everything was perfect. And keep in mind, I asked this guy at least three times in tha same day was there any problem, cuz brand new motor and radiator and suspension seemed too good to be true.
So i was already kinda sketchy bout it, jus didnt seem right, but anyways movin on..and once more right to his face about any leaks, knocks, loose wirin..slippin trans, anything before i drove it a hundred miles, cuz i thought i had a car that was gonna last for years and years cuz thats what all my hondas have done so far. Amazin machines...anyways tha right front tire was very low, so i didnt wanna move it till i put bout a half a quart of oil in, only thing low, and jus a lil....so tha guy signed tha title and i paid him his 3000 happily.
Went in got tha oil, came out put it in..pulled around to fill her up no problem..so im thinkin its ready to go so i let my wife get in tha driver seat and roll out....or so we thought. No sooner than we pulled out tha station tha trans started jerkin and slippin like i was pullin a full sized pickup on a chain behind us...tha engine started lopin (steady jumpin from 500 rpm to around 1500rpm) needless to say i am devastated i need advice from somebody, anybody that can help....
Not to make this a sob story but my dad was jus diagnosed with terminal lung and liver cancer 3 weeks ago so now all the money i have is gonna have to go on his final expenses..i kno i should have test drove it first but wow, everything else on tha car was in such new and excellent shape i never would have dreamed tha trans was gonna go out before i got out of the parking lot good. Jus wow somebody please help me out...cheap parts easy fix, jus advice of things i could try, anything please, anytime of day, even right now. All advice and comments are welcome cuz i really dont kno what to do
