    I messaged the seller asking if the head gasket had been fixed and response was "there is nothing wrong with the head gasket"

    All screams he tried to screw op tbh

    From the buyer

    It over heated in the snow I panicked I thought the head had gone as when I phoned the garage to explain the problem that's what they told me but after further checks it was found to be just frozen water so we had the radiator drained and refilled with antifreeze it's been perfect since

    So he was looking to punt it with a head gasket failure for double the price? Or he's sold a perfectly good vehicle for double the price?

    Either way, he sounds like a dodgy person!
