Default Serious?

So I stumbled on this. Its an 2002 with a blown motor. The owner decided to get an F22 and put it in. Here's what he says is going on "the car RUNS and the misfire at idle is fixed (dirty plugs), but the CEL light is on (code P0135) and it smokes white...i do not believe it's the headgasket at all, the smell is horrid (nothing i've smelt before), and it hasn't been run long enough To be the headgasket."

My reaction: (-__-)

Worst part of all, its salvage and he wants $7,500.00 for it. Right, I'll give you 3k tops. Not worth a penny more.

Prolly trying to get as much out of it since he says he bought it for a large sum. As long as some dumbass doesn't see it and think it's a good deal, he'll keep lowering the price just so he can get rid of it.

I'm tempted to offer him $2500 cash just to rescue the car.

If its an auction car I understand him, otherwise idk why he went with an F22. Not really an upgrade or anything.

F22 is better in every way. Makes more power through out the whole rpm. Can be revved to 8500 rpm easily. More torque and more power and most importantly no oil burning. Now how is that not an upgrade???
