Radiator, Overflow Reservoir - Want to Sell

nessies2003 · 10-26-2011, 02:10 AM

So here's the deal...I'm having enough problems with my supra that I decided to sell it. But something funny is going on with the radiator. Sometimes it will just overheat temporarily. When I stop the car, the overfill reservoir for the radiator is completely full. The next day when everything has cooled down, it is empty. I replaced the radiator cap a couple weeks ago, but clearly that didn't fix the problem.

It sounds like (from the forum) that this could be a thermostat problem, or a blown head gasket. What kind of repair costs could that be for me at a mechanic and should I just try and sell it without bothering to fix that?
