So I just sold my Blazer last night, and the guy who bought it from me just texted me telling me that it overheated on him, and he wants to know what's wrong with it. I told him "everything that I was aware of" that was wrong with it "before" he bought it (driver window fell off track and I don't know how to open the door panel to fix it, it has no stereo, paint was starting to fade on the hood from the sun... but he knew all this)... and I've never ever had overheating problems myself.
Aside from a trip I took last month, I've only used it to and from work, grocery shopping, few trips to the bank, etc... cus my husband originally bought it for his handyman jobs, but he had to go out of the country on an urgent matter and asked me to sell it. I'm joining him soon, so I'm getting rid of "everything" (we'll just start over when we return next year), so I sold our vehicles, too.
Anyway... I asked this kid how far did he take it that it overheated on him, and he says 7 miles on the freeway. This doesn't sound right to me, as I took it down south for Thxgiving (about 700 miles roundtrip) and I never had any problems with it! I stopped every couple hours to check the radiator and oil, and it was fine!
What could be the problem?? He's making me feel bad because he says that "he doesn't believe me", and that he just wants to know what's wrong with it so he can fix it. I personally am not a mechanic, so I have no idea what could have caused this... and as I said, we've never ever had any problems with it! A few mechanics in our neighborhood (and a few other people who wanted to buy it from me when I wasn't really prepared to sell it) told me it has a great engine. And I believe it does, because it starts right up, it runs smooth, and people tell me all the time that for being a '91, the engine is great!
What should I do??? I hate for this kid to think I tried to stiff him, because I would never do that to anybody! But he's saying that I didn't tell him what was really wrong with the car, when in reality, I told him everything that I was aware of... :/
ADD: I say "kid" because I'm so much older than he... He was about in his early 20's. He answered an ad that I posted, where I inclusively listed all the things wrong with the car that I knew of...
PS: He says he doesn't care about the money...
