Ok I've got a huge problem with my Soarer.
At the moment its currently burning white smoke. I've had the turbos and the lines to it thoroughly check over (twice), turbos replaced and a compression test done and its still burning. Mechanics at this stage *believe* its a stem seal problem (which explains why the compression test came back as ok) which I believe to be the case but they won't know for certain until they pull the engine apart (which will cost $$$).
I don't have the $2-3k atm to repair it so I'm wondering what are my options are?
Can this job be done on the cheap? Eg. I buy the parts and have mates (who are qualified) to do the job? Or can it be done without pulling the entire engine out?
OR
Can I still sell the car? Do I legally have to disclose this problem if I sell/trade it in?
I'm not trying to pull a dodge, I'm just trying to work out all my options here and understand what are my obligations. I've already spent well over $5k trying to get this car to a state I'm happy with it but so far I'm already stretched financially as it is.
