"Sell this car once close to 100K... even free donation will save you $$ in repairs or you will regre"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Run Great... no problem till 100,0000 miles. Than all of a sudden the car started braking down... Problems started following...
Major problems (including labor) :
* Water pump 103000mi
* Heater Core 115000mi
* Struts & Socks 117000mi
* Alignment 118000mi
* Head gasket 119000mi
* Transmission Sensor 121000mi.
End up spending about $5,000-$6,000.
General comments?
I have maintained this car v.well. Car requires gas treatment every other tank, used good qty oil change... Most of the time used 76 Regular for city & premium for long distance. You will notice huge performance.
Here is something you won't believe, but it's 101% true... I GOT 40-45 MPG till 125,000 when I sold my car. This is true. Tank lasted 3-4 weeks city. From Hayward, CA to Los Angeles, CA (450 Miles) single tank & still had enough to drive around 1-2 days. God knows what that engine had... Never had any problem till 100,000 miles other than oil change & tires & battery.
