well lately i have had nothing but problems with my car...i just repalced the water pump and timing chain which put a nice dent in my wallet. i got the car back and drove it from mississauga to london...everything seemed fine, a day later my car started stalling whenever i was stopped while it was in gear...so i figured the mechanic might have messed something up so i call him up and tell him im bringing my car in for him to check cuz something isn't right
So I'm driving back from london to mississauga on the 401 and engine temp started to get higher and higher and when i steped on the gas there was no respose and before i knew it i was stranded on the side of the highway...
so i get a tow truck and $230 later im in mississauga at the shop and drop off my car and that was that. Well now the mechanic is saying a spun the main bearing and the engine needs to be rebuilt for a nice price of $4000. well, thats not going to happen i cant afford that. I guess heres my questions....
1) do you think it could have been the mechanics fault. could the timing chain cause the engine to blow?
2) what do you think i could sell my car for with the engine blown
91 SC completly stock
Blue with black leather
130 000 km
car is almost perfect inside and out
3) if i do spend the money on the engine do you think i could get it back if i sell the car soon after.
4)what would you guy do in this situation
Im just really confused about what to do right now and out of a car.
thanks in advance
