At 64,000 miles the rod blew a hole in the engine, and oil leaked everywhere.
The brakes were not working properly when my parents bought the car.
The passenger side window doesn't even come close to working.
Seat belts lock up before I even put them on.
The alternator was brand new at 25,000 miles said the guy we bought it from.
This car is a piece of crap. When we bought this car, the guy told us it was in mint condition. Boy was he wrong. I could not drive it before I could go 1500 miles after buying it. I had to get a new engine because of the rod hole. I took care of the car real well, but that wasn't enough. It was too damaged and rundown before I bought the car. Although I had a good time with my car, it was not very good to buy. I regret buying it.
I am amazed that people will buy a used vehicle without knowing the way it was treated or it's service history and condemn the car as total junk. The first thing I'd be suspicious of with this car is the actual mileage. Buying a car over thirteen years old that has only 62,000 miles on it? Are you sure that is accurate? That alone would've sent up a red flag to me. If you are less than experienced with cars, it might be wise to take it to a mechanic to have it looked over prior to purchase. Generally, significant engine failure doesn't take place as described without a few warning signs along the way. A mechanics expertise may have saved this person a great deal of grief.
