If a person has any type of sense, the car should be checked out by professionals and fixed.  It also depends upon what state the person lives in.  Mississippi has cold weather during the winter and antifreeze should be put in the car.  If the place is like Illinois, where it snows and is cold as well, but not as cold as Mississippi, they should have antifreeze also. ??? ??? ??? :rainbow:

I would have questioned as to why this woman gave away her car. Now you are stuck with fixing it. Go to a repair shop and see how much it would cost. If it is more then what the car is then junk the car or you will be paying forever on repairs.

"Never look a gift horse in the mouth". It's worth something even if you junk it, so you end up with free money.

I would take it to my brother.  He usually works on mine.  But if I didn't have him I guess I would take it to a shop.

I believe the radiator needs to be replaced. It has been a while since I worked on cars but that is my answer.

TO be honest the solution to this was the radiator needed to be replaced, the head gasket was blown, and the water pump as well needed to be replaced.

Although this wasn't nessisarily a real life situation..
I figured it might help someone in the future..

Cheers!

I had a situation like this, in NM where we have mild winters.  My thermostat went out and by the time I inched it to the mechanic the head gasket was blown.  The repair was costly and took a long time.  After that I had a small oil leak.

Is the Southern state of Mississippi really colder than the Northern state of Illinois?
