HEllo everyone.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
This site is a big help indeed.
First things first.
I bought this car from an individual. He is ignoring all of my calls now...
I ran a carfax on this vehicle which came up clean.
Only 2 owners. The first owner owned the car for 7 years, and the guy I bought it from had it for 5 years.
He seemed very genuine, and told me that the car was running great with a few miscellaneous problems, Ie. speedometer blacking out etc. I throughly test drove the car before I purchased it. It wasn't untill the next day that the problems started to arise. The power steering had a slow leak. ( i confirmed this with my mechanic)
Several hours later while I was idled at walmart waiting for my girlfriend, I noticed the temperature starting to drift towards the top. Soon after, the car begin to overheat everytime Im idled for more than 5 mins.
The temperature gauge continues to rise at every stop now.
The car is very clean and it appears to be in really good shape.
Everything works great with the exception of the car overheating. I drove the car 30 miles on the freeway and it runs great.
I have no idea whats wrong with the car.. The timing belt was changed at 116k. The car now has 140k.
Relatively low for the year i assume?
I purchased this car because of it's reputation for being the most reliable car on the market.
The car has never been wrecked.
If legal matters should arise, Im not sure how to handle it..
The guy sold me the car and I wouldn't even know how to begin the process..
