Hi,
One week before Christmas, when I tried to start my vehicle’s engine it made a terrible noise, this happened on a friday. I contacted a nearby repair shop, the mechanic came an towed my van to his shop. The following week, the mechanic phoned me and told me my engine was blown. I could either replace the engine or junk the van. The mechanic stated that because of the condition (blown engine) of the vehicle he would not charge me for looking at it or towing. I told him Thank you. He then advised I junk the van. I ask for time to decide on what I wanted to do. The mechanic said sure take your time in deciding I understand. After debating over the weekend I decided to phone the mechanic, telling him I couldn’t make a decision without him giving me Prices of what a replaced engine would be. He stated he would check around for prices and get back to me. After the Holidays.. he quoted me a price of $1500! He said take your time decide and get back to me on what you want to do. I then made numerous phone calls and searched the internet for an engine.The following Wednesday it was brought to our attention we were about to have a huge snowstorm. I receive a FRANTIC phone message from the mechanic telling me I NEED TO DECIDE NOW ..WE HAVE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE! AND if I want he will buy the vehicle from me at JUNK price or he also has a BUYER ..either way he needs the vehicle’s title! NOW! At this point I looked for my title only to realize I had misplaced it. I then left a phone message telling the mechanic I can not find my title. I will have to apply for a new one. We then had two snowstorms back to back 32+ inches every business was shut down. Plus another and another snowstorm. I also had a two family crisis (Death’s) I could not get anywhere to get a new title. Last monday I applied for a new title and finally received it this past Saturday. At this time I also noticed an ad in our local paper stating they were buying junk vehicles. I phoned them and asked what they paid. I then contacted the mechanic and stated that he never quoted me an actual cash amount (he told me he would pay me Junk price). I asked him what that amount would be. I told him I do have another buyer.
