Hopefully they did'nt run it very long with coolant in the oil. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> Id be scared. Doing a compressiond check is kind of a pain in the arse on these things too. However 4,000 bucks is not very much money.

Good scenario; They take 3500 buck and you put a grand into it and have a 8000 dollar vehicle for 4500.

Worse scenario but still good; You pay 4000 for it and have to replace the motor. 2000 bucks later you have a 8000 dollar vehicle for 6000.
