"The perfect car for both beginners and avid drivers"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I bought the car, the low and high beams did not work. Only the driving and park lights worked. I still have not been able to fix this problem. The only way to drive at night is to hold the High beam flash toward you (makes your hand cramp out...)

The bakes wore out completely in less than three months without warning until the rotator disk wore right off the rear end on both tires. Replaced all brake pads and discs.

At 230,000 kms, the car is now making an ungodly loud clacking noise - the cam rod went in it. Needs new motor. Transmission was also beginning to wear out.

Engine burned both oil and transmission fluid.

General comments?

Amazing acceleration and power - can get you just about anywhere you need to go.

Would be an excellent family car as there is tonnes of room in it.

Very comfortable to drive, even on long trips. (I do wish it had cruise control though, legs got tired after a while).

A/C was amazing in 30-40 degree (Celsius) weather. Would have to turn it off because it got too cold!

You have that kind of trouble and call it the "perfect" car?

A hint: if the A/C is too cold, dial the temperature up.

LOL, for the comment above. High and low beam might be a relay that the vendor forgot to connect up.

I wouldn't trust an ex-cop car to be a very reliable vehicle considering the abuse they take.
