Surely he woul have not mentioned it if he knew he had done a sh!t job?

He is a car salesman and they should never be trusted, they are in business to sell cars so the more they move the better no matter what problems they have.

I would be very cautious, walk away unless it's at a rock bottom price.

I wouldn't say it was rock bottom but it's not bad either. I will be very cautious about it. Maybe the head went for some dumb reason an it took a few parts with it????


It's a really nice motor. I thought it was a good all the stuff had been done until I read about the head and gasket lol.

I would imagine it's the fact that he sold it and had to buy it back. He's out of pocket and therefore may have cut corners on the repairs.
Tbh looking at it wouldn't cost anything other than a bit of your time. You're under no obligation to buy, and it gives you a comparable for others you may look at.
I'd take a mate though for a second opinion and go with your instinct. At the end of the day it's a second hand car and as we all know - a second hand car comes with second hand problems. It's just that some problems are bigger and more expensive to fix than others!
