Quote "So, my boyfriend bought a '96 Cherokee (XJ) SE, for way too much, like around $3,000. It broke down and he has put another $2,500 in it and totally rebuilt the engine and did a lot of after market work on it. He has and will do all the labor himself, he refuses to pay for labor. Now, he finds out that the motor needs to be taken back out and fixed again and is looking at another $700. I said he should just sell it and wipe his hands clean, he says he won't make enough.
Firstly, what is your guys' opinion on what he should do! Secondly, how much do you think he could make parting it versus just the whole car as is!
Thanks for your guys' opinions!"

nice rant, I may have to print it out and put it on the oven where there is zero risk of it actually being read here :(
He should have suggested she check out the family planning section of the library too.

Thanks purplegoanna that was a great and very funny read!
BTW, makes me appreciate Mrs Jazz. She didn't even know me a month and the Corolla had been traded in on the Alfa Spider. She holds doors while I bolt them on, dosn't mind when we spend money on expensive tools, will drive anything and enjoys club events etc.
She has even requested we get her an engine to dissasemble so she can understand more. AND she cooks!

I hear you. Mrs Jazz used to have the much abused Mercedes (bought site unseen and ripped off) LHD, manual, diesel W123 with various cantankerous habbits and a lever to turn it off. The Alfa is LHD as well but she swaps back and fourth like a pro.
Tis a great woman you got understanding about classics and priorities. top work that man!
