"I bought the car for $4,000, I've put $2,000+ back into it, what do you think my opinion is?"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

- Power steering rack needed replacement.

- Alternator (did that myself)

- Battery due to alternator LOL.

- Rear struts rotted.

- Water pump.

- A/C compressor seized so car wouldn't run... Pulled that myself.

- Tie-rod passengers side.

- Muffler rotted up to the catalytic converter..

- Frame is starting to rot (expected though for this age)

- Brakes lines have all rotted.

- The list goes on... and on, and on.

General comments?

I dislike this car... I don't hate it, mainly because it has only not started for me once. It is reliable in that it will start, but quality wise this car is a nightmare.

Jeez do you live on the East coast or near the ocean?? I can't believe your car is rusting out like that, I own 2 Luminas, a '99 and '98 and both have no rust or "rot". One of them I had transported from NJ out here to Seattle, and no problems. Strange.

Your opinion is that it's worth at least 6k.
