In that case it might warrant doing a temporary repair. The sealant/stop leak will be very temporary.

So after you fix the car cosmetically, you screw the guy who buys it, with the engine

Re: 95 Camaro Overheating

Yeah that's pretty much what happened to us. Looked great cosmetically but had all kinds of engine issues.
We replaced the engine. Bought a new/rebuilt engine from AutoZone and had it installed. Cost us about $4500 total but completely worth it. My neighbor has the same car and had to park it yesterday because his floor is falling out in the backseat. Ours has not one speck of rust on it.
When the car looks that good you don't expect it to have those kind of engine issues. You hope that whoever had the car took as good care of the engine as the rest of it. Because of this I will NEVER buy another used car without having a certified mechanic look at it. I don't care if I have to flatbed the car to a mechanic and back to the seller. We could have saved a ton of money had we not had to replace an engine, or had the seller not lied to us. 18 years old or not. Our 87 Monte Carlo doesn't have and never has had any cooling issues. So just because it's old doesn't mean it will have issues. If it was properly taken care of it shouldn't have any issues.

Just remember Karma is a bitch. Whatever you do will come back to you 3-fold. Good luck with your Subura. Whatever that is. LOL
