Hi all had my car checked by holden, turns out whoever had it before me has completly ####ed my engine.
Cylinders 2,3,4,5 all have cylinder knocking, the gear box is buggerd aswel. can anyone tell me if its possible to fix the engine/gearbox or would it be cheaper to sell it and buy a new car?

That's really sad to hear, if you can't take it back to the dealer you bought it from, have a look on Holmart as they have brand spanking new engines for sale and im sure a suitable gearbox wouldn't be hard to find. They cost would be easily upwards of 5g though

Didn't you have the car checked out before buying it?

Holden are the ones trying to rape you. Take it to a reputable shop other than a dealership and see what they say.

I am assuming there is no warranty on the car.
