" DUDE! its a HYUNDAI ( sorry for saying that,.. i have not much good rating of hyundai from ppl that use them around me.. ic. matrix and atos especially. no offense) ..." then.. after some talking he explain that he have too many cars.. need to get rid of them.. to ease his burden.. bla bla bla.. so.. after a while of consideration.. i dont mind trying out a new type of car brand whihc is hyundai.. and... my carefree attitude dont really car as long as the car can run in good condition.. and. i told him that i dont mind to help him take over the "project car" and the problem parts starts here...common things ppl before actually buying the car is.. go take a look of the car.. and check.. and ask question.. so i went over to check it out.. the condition are. not superb as u know.. 14 yrs old car! what u expect man? so.. ok.. small problem.. i went to check the car.. rear light alittle old and crack.. no problem.. front bumper is goner.. with minor damage on front bonet. ( apparently reverse his own car into it ) sso. considering ill redo custom bodykits.. so.. no problemm. nice interior.. all done up.. with fur.. (removed them once i got them)..then comes the hard part.. so i ask him, about the car history.. damaages that the car face.. mechical maintaince and failure .. and repair histories so does accident history..As owners of various car.. all done up, nice bodykit, nice interior.. car lover.. and editor/owner of an automotive magazine.. his answers to my question are.. " the car.. OK one.. no problem1. i just overhaul it like last year ( consider car rarely use.. should be ok ) spend 3k plus on overhaul the engine.. just that now the engine leak alittle black oil.. service cost less then 1.5k garuntee. and. absorber need to change lah.. old already mah. other then that. just bodywork alittle and respray! then LENG LENG! no accident so far! nothing wrong with the car! OK!?i was like.. hmm.. in this case.. judge by his reputation.. should not be muich problem.. and.. check my financial state.. decided.. to give it a try.. tellign him i only will get it 1 or 2 months late.r. since no money mer... he even says he will get the road tax done for me... then.. the interesting story starts here... after i agree that i "dont mind owning that car.... and i dont find any problem taking it.." he start bugging me to go collect the car from his house all the time. claiming he need space for his new "project car" and so on... for me. its fine, i went all my trouble to go his house.. try to starts... and.. engine can start but cant move. so.. wasted 1 day trying.. and. decides just get a tow truck to tow it to my work shop. he claims that.. nothing one.. engien too long never move.. thats why lor.. ask them to clean clean then engine then good di.. finally, i got the car out of his house and into my friendly workshop. 1st thing after they check for me.. - fuel pump gone case, to get it moving.. change a new one.. RM 500 + workman ship. and other normal wear and tear liek spark, oil, etc. ( spend about 1 week in workshop due to busy working schedule )collected the car.. test drive alittle... discover the car turn to wards certain direction.. so send for allightment.. comes 2nd shocking news.- my rear wheels, ( trailing arm suspension system) is loose, i can move it left to right about 1 CM worth of travel, back to workshop..finalyl after countless breakdown and tow truck trips. i am free to really take a look at the car.. i bring it to my foreman and jack up to slowly inspect any visible problem...and i discover some interesting part .- rear suspension arm bushing is goner...- front suspension bushing is goner ( as good as considering as whole car bushing need to change.- rear fuel tank is dented inwards from bottom, ( accident caused i guess)- distributor cap cracked ( cost me about 100 bucks)- eletrocic wiring total lost.- radiator need rebuild/service- fuel meter and rev meter not working-water temp meter. not accurate.. ( always in red when i drive when it clock about 80 c.- engine mounting is dead- rear drum brake leakingsso.., i consulted my friend about his " so called no problem car" imform him about this car condition is in BAD shape.. other then looks. and plan to negotiate the price. to bring it down alittle or so.. during one of my stressfull working night.... he blatenlly telling me that.. eh! all these damages how i know lah? how do you expect me to know all these things? and now what? bla bla bla bla.., i asked him aboit 10 question about his car. he cant answer me a single thing.. like. eh,. your fuel tank bengkok, you know or not? and what caused it.. " DENTED? I Dunno man.. i dunno anything, got dent meh? i no accident also , sure not i do one" WTF!??? so much for someone that "rebuild the car for project car"so.. all the nessecarry things i all fix already.. consult few forman and ppl.. discover that.. i might need to overhaul or complete rebuild... make it worst.. my engine head might crack. which renders to rare parts and hard to get components cost about 2500 to minimus bottom overhaul or.. 5-8k complete engine rebuild..so now.. this is the problem.. i need to make decission..IF you are in my shoe.. what will you do?condition are like this...- the car now still moving wiht 1 piston partialyl dead, (FC not so good due to that 1 piston )- i have only paid the deposit for the car, not full amount to almost 9k yet.- engine rebuild will cost me.. about 6-7kn not inclusive of BOSH eletronic parts or sensors.. which might cost me more to total of 9k?- engine conversion of mivec CK will cost 8-10k- engine conversion of GSR 9-12kbasiclly.. i will need about 20k to rebuild the car to almost perfect condtiion..what will you do? if you are in my situation. base on condition.. will you?Sell off the car ?rebuilt it?give it back to your friend?or what else?</blockquote>
