After reading reviews of the 2011 gen coupe I figured let’s go. I love the look and package.
I purchased a used 78,000 mile gen coupe 2.0t
11k + fees, tax etc
Maybe I was a fool buying “as is” as the engine 3 days later is shot.
what seemed to happen, timing chain jumped. I could crank it as I was seeing if it was something simple to fix. After few attempts and reading I decided to tow it to my local mechanic.
He said the timing chain jumped and may have messed up the engine. I freak and get it towed back to dealership. They said the engine is seized (cylinder 2 and 4 diagnostic) is shot.
I’m ignorant and fairly novice with car stuff .
So, 1) is there anything I can do with “as is “ contract. Seems unreal they didn’t see something with diagnostic when they got it as they even mentioned check engine light on. Which was gone when I took it home. What avenue should I look at to try and rectify if I even can. Cause they’re saying $6-7k for replacement engine that has double miles on it.
I’m at a loss guys. Decent amount of money and times are tough. I may have screwed up big but please lend me some insight.
Also the engine would crank, now it’s seized … ? Is that normal ? I would assume running car with timing chain would do it but it was just not starting.
Thanks
