"A POS bargain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

This car is really nice although I have had the car in the shop five times since I bought the car for 2500. Once I bought the car it cost me a total of over 500 to repair the car to working condition. The first thing that happened was when I started the car it would idle high and stall out. I brought it into the shop to be fixed and found out I needed all new spark plugs plus 3 new vaccum lines plus a new gasket and a sensor. They thought that would fix it, but it still idled high and stalled out. They took it to a dealership and they put on a new fuel intake computer which so far has worked out. Five minutes after getting the car out of the shop for the first time in 2 weeks, the throttle cable wnt. That was cheap costing me $40. Then a few days later my window came off the track. I am fixing that by myself, but it is a pain in the rear end. Now I am currently repairing the passenger side window which is either off the track or jammed I'm still trying to figure out wuts up with it. I like the car, but this is only the thrid month that I've owned. WE are still dealing with all the problems, but I plan on keeping it because it runls smoothly for now!!!

General comments?

I love this car despite all the problems that I have encountered. The car is extremely powerful which is nice. I would think about it before deciding to buy this car as I have put a good amount of money in to it. Good luck with your Monte.

I wish I would have found your review sooner. My Z34 has the same problem yours did. A horrible cold start problem. Goes up to about 3,000 rpms and shuts of unless your foot is kept on the gas. Not a good thing to do. Its been 8 days and they still haven't found the problem. I'll keep this in mind.

I agree with the last comment. I wish I would have read this before buying my car. I seem to be having the same problem... idling high, then stalling out. Started just after I got it. I love the car, but... not too into the fact that I just bought it and it needs to be fixed.
