Adventures of the co-signed Aveo
Well, from the no good deed goes unpunished file.
A couple years back we co-signed on a car loan for a receptionist. I was just informed she can no longer pay, and she'll surrender the car to us, which wouldn't be so bad given that it only has about a year left on nominal payments. Except that it has *at least* a blown HG and damaged cat. . . |
Car?

Well fix it and flip it. You could go after her for indemnification, but since she's broke it would really just be a waste of time. |
She has a gift for making the worst possible choice at each turn. We were trying to be a positive and supportive influence, which I don't regret, as she has acknowledged and expressed gratitude so at least some flicker might have gotten through, but holy shit. . .this plus some surprise back business taxes, and not being able to pull of a refi business debt exit, have kicked me in the nuts a little. Anyway, it get's towed in the morning, so I'll find out more. Hopefully it's just the HG, and not some catastrophic head warpage . . . but knowing her . . .

Again, kind of car?

This is what I know so far. . . I have to think seriously if I want to bother getting it into a salable shape or just eat it and liquidate for scrap. It's usually just the heads that warp and not the block as well right? Do you know a place that will deck the heads if there's minor warpage for cheap? |
Pacific Engine should still be able to handle decking a head. I'll supervise if need be.

BTW, how do you check if a head is warped if it's somewhat minor? She said it "shoots out coolant" . . that's not good, but I haven't seen it yet.
