problem #1

Altima 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles

I bought the car used. I understand used. It worked fine for a few months. So far, I have replaced the windshield, window motor, outside car handles, radiator fan, and the radiator was just replaced before I bought it. I replaced the hood bar holder, recharged the ac, the valve cover gasket, and the entire back brakes system because the caliper seized up. The car was losing oil, and I couldn't find where then I notice that the oil looked like it was over filled. Come to find out I had a head gasket leak and the coolant was mixing with the oil. The body is in excellent shape and so is the interior. I loved this car. I've already put so much into it. Its only got around 130k-140k miles. Should I fix it, try one of those sealants, or just junk it?
