Buying a dead car
There is a car for sale near me where the owner says that the battery is dead and that the car needs a new skreem module. It looks as if I would have to buy it as is without starting it. I'm handy, so I think that I would eventually be able to sort things out, but I realize that it might not be all that's wrong. Is there a worse case scenario that I should know about here, other expensive modules, sensors? Thanks!

How does he know it is the SKREEM?
Depending on price and the cars condition it may be a good deal.

Re: Buying a dead car
Thanks for the replies. The seller contacted me today to say that the car was already sold. The asking price was $3,000, but the car had a salvage title, so I don't know if it was truly a good deal.
