1. Brian Z Says: Looking at buying a car on Craigslist, the description says it's a 98 Buick Le Sabre with water in the cylinders. Is this a pain in the *** to fix? How much for a mechanic to do it, how much to do it yourself?

2. Dennis Says: Stay away from it. Needs major engine work.

3. stevefwb Says: it would be easy to fix if you have 10,000 dollars of tools and 10 years experience rebuilding engines from scratch. and maybe 1000 dollars of parts.

4. Boe Says: Its probably the deal of man its cheap and with that issue, sounds like the engine needs to be rebuild. Blown head gasket or cracked block.

5. molitor Says: Pass this one up. I'll give you a clue. Ad might as well say "NO ENGINE" because the one it has isn't worth a republicans promise.

6. mister ss Says: blown head gasket and yes it's a pain on a front drive, over $1,000 to fix at a shop.

7. Al Says: Anything that sound good is not Always good! Pass up deal.
