Temp fix? Really? Note to self.....NEVER buy from Joe!!!!!!!!!!!! Joe, you can't temp fix that, AND you SHOULDN'T temp fix. There is no sense in doing something if you are not going to do it right. To temp fix and then sell it? That is for the slimey used car salespeople to do. I could NEVER operate that way.

Now to save time and in a crunch I can see "limping" it home by any means necessary. But to patch it just to sell it? If you fix it right it will be easier to sell and you will get more. If you patch it then the buyer is asking himself, "What else is geri-riggeed?" See what I mean? You will not get a good price out of anything that is rigged.
