Default Not a good way to sell a car

I'm selling my old car, andwas showingittoday to this couple that was interested in buying it. They were very impressed with how clean and well kept it was. While we were standing outside the car with it running, suddenly it started leaking antifreeze all over the ground![:@]I couldn't believe this happened right then and there!!!!! WTF!!! There was no sign of this happening since I had always taken good care of it. Turns out the rubber seal that joins the side cap to the main radiatorcorestarted leaking. How's that for some bad luck?[:'(] Looks like I'll be installinga new radiator this weekend.

Damn that sucks man. Well fix the problem and up the price because it has new parts. I'm also trying to sell my other car so I can get enough money for a down payment on a ZX10. Good luck with your sale.

hahaha- that is terrible! My brother sold his old DSM Talon GSX with a larger Turbo- forgot what size.. anyway- minutes after selling the car- the pressure plate stops engaging- serisously, 2 miles from where the guy bought it- my bro was a GREAT sport and gave the guy 200 for a new clutch kit- good karma? I think so.

I would have done the complete opposite[:@]

Man what rotten luck, or should I say, what are the odds? Got buy a lottery ticket dude, with the odds of that happening right when potential buyers are present and about ready to close the deal means you must emit a probability distortion field of very high magnitude. Perhaps you can find a way to use that power for good.

Crazy enough, they are still interested in buying my car. They just told me to fix the radiator, and they'll be back.

But yes.... What are the odds of that?

Note to self, watch where you put the jack next time. Sorry buddy, I saw a sign in a auto repair shop once that said labor $60.00 per hour, if you worked on it $100.00 per hour.....bwahahahahahahahahahaha
