sounds like maybe a hole in the exhaust, or cadellic converter. Maybe power steering. Does it squeal more when you turn the wheel left and right? if its just a hole in the exhaust you might get a cheap mexican mechanic to weld something over the hole so it sounds and runs a lil better.

A couple years ago my wife bought a 2004 ford exploder against my wishes needless to say it was a pos.......transmission/engine,heater broke on and on........anyways with repairs we owed more than it was worth.Ford told us to pick it up from there shop,we called financier told them to come and get it........but
before I called,I took it and put 4 bald tires on it,keeping 4 new ones,took the battery,took after market Dvd, and inspection/registration sticker....fuck 'em..lol

So the mechanic or your friend said the head gasket will go? Earlier in your other thread, you said your friend was the one that said it.

If your friend is a mechanic, why are you on here asking questions?

Hes not a mecahinic officially. When he said that the seller said he has all the forms from the mehanic to say that the cars good but he said hed fone me at 5 today. And it would no doubt last a year. But when i brought it home all my ppls didnt like it n said itll break down on me so soon.
the post was actually to ask what my options would be for this because im not feeling this car nemore cuz i dont want it to break down on me. So i was guna tow it and just get the $ back but before i did that i posted it to riu and jusy double checked cuz i dont have skils with these kinda things.
its good i did because i decided to try to resell it n if not im just guna maybe c if itll work or tow it

You might get lucky and use a sealant additive within the cooling system and temporarily be able to keep this engine running longer than expected .. This is not advisable with automobiles worth repairing although many people have done this when in trouble... I have seen Bars Stop Leak added to radiators for many junk engines , its a cheap quick fix that sometimes works for bad intake manifolds & head gaskets , but not always .. No guarantee but often this trick gets one back on the road for a while and some people get very far doing this .. Just depends on the damage done as this is for minor leaks

Through this experience, you end up with a $1300 loss, no car and a lesson learned that when purchasing a vehicle over sketchlist, or craigslist...always thoroughly inspect the functionality of the said purchased car. Carfax is mandatory for when buying shitboxes. Needs to at least work.
