by: Mike Najjar So you’ve bought a used car in the St. Louis area. How do you know what you’re getting? It is hard to know what you’re getting because people in the St. Louis area sell cars for different reasons. Think about why you’ve sold cars.

Sludge is one of the biggest enemies of your engine, clogging it up, eventually leading to expensive failure...
