hey, new here but not new to forums, i am on mirageforums.net, blazerforums.com, saabcentral.com etc
My parents own a 2007 nissan versa hatchback, 6 speed manual i think close to 100k, not sure, all highway miles, dad drives about 45 mins to work and back. Two mornings ago he got off the highway and on the offramp, it died, wouldn't turn over, all the lights worked.
got it towed to a mechanic, and they got it started, but said it is something major, and wouldn't drive it more then a couples miles, and they can't fix it because they don't do engines. have no clue what it is and we really don't have the money for this
(recently our old furniture store that is vacant that we have been trying to sell for 2 years had a buyer then the roof collapsed.)
any ideas at all would be helpful. also i should add in it has always ticked even after putting in oil, and i have noticed when i have driven it the performance has been horrible
edit again, car has almost 90k, was 5k since a oil change, but he oil change was recent, on his way to work oil light came one, so on his way home he put in two quarts. engine isn't seized
