I told them to add a quart and a half of oil and check the coolant every 2,000 miles. Guess what they didn't! Seized

I would have gotten it out of the scrap yard and put a new motor in it, but the interior was torn, burned, stained and the exterior was never washed again since they bought it.

Had to sell it really cause I needed something more fuel efficient. It was starting to cost me more in repairs then I needed to as well.
