I bought a civic yesterday and got told it had fresh oil and a new oil filter to which it hasnt... Oil light came on on the way home so I checked the oil and it had way too much in. When I got home I dropped a litre and a half of filthy oil out which took it to full on the dipstick. I then went to go pick up an oil filter and some oil, on the way back the oil light started to flash again, then came on perm. My car started to sound like a diesel, then a tracktor, churned abit then went bang and I heard loads of metal grinding and dropping out the bottom and this has whats happened.





On ebay the guy said so many things wrong. "Service just completed but No service history, which is not unusual with an older car like this." Service was in febuary....

"central locking, Honda alloy wheels. Had new battery, long MOT." No central locking and the batterys dead.

Now I didnt go through ebay as I rang the guy and asked him to take it off early, but its a small warehouse for parts such as bumpers, lights ect and they buy cars in and repair them then sell them on with a service done by them. Is there anything I can do about this as I've had the car less than a day and its gone bang.

Hope your state has good Lemon Laws.

That sucks, good luck with it.


EDIT: If you can, keep the oil that was in it. It may be very high viscosity, meaning they knew it was about to blow a rod, but wanted to sell it, without you hearing it knock..

Anyway, you may want a lawyer, or two.

Man, that does suck, but i would think that you could get some sort of payment or refund or whatever. That's a big hole!
