I screwed up!! Advice please?

You're right. It was a 6K car. That's certainly not perfect car territory, but it was misrepresented. No offense when I ask this.....but if you could afford 6K for a car, why not a plane ticket to go look at it in person? OR we have members in the area that car was in I am sure who could have looked at it for you. All water under the bridge now I suppose. Sounds like it needs front frame rail(s). They really are not hard to replace. Just a lot of spot welds. You could remove it or them yourself, get the replacements, get the car COMPLETELY ready for them to be welded back in and have someone come do it for you.....OR you could buy a decent MIG welder, learn how to use it and do it yourself. WIre welding is the easiest form of welding to learn. Trust me. If I can do it, the biggest retard on the planet can do it. No offense to retards.
No offense taken at all. I don’t have the time right now. Too much going on with work, the kids, the house needs a new roof before winter etc. etc.
The seller seems really honest, but maybe he’s a really good liar! I try to always see the good in people, and even now, I kind of believe that he was unaware of the issues.
It definitely does need new rails, I’m just not sure if it’s worth having them done. I don’t have the time, and I don’t trust my welding skills. So I guess I’ll do a little digging around on what it might cost. And make a decision from there.
