Wiper fluid motor went 2 days after I bought it.
A/C constantly breaks/leaks. Controls "slip" so that on/off do not work right.
Transmission started making noises at 50,000 miles.
Bearings died at 66000 miles - this is ridiculous!! I thought these were supposed to last forever! Oil was changed religiously, even used expensive oil & filters.
Dealership never fixed things definitively.
It was decent transportation until now!!
I took excellent care of it, and it still is dying very soon!!
You must've got a lemon. Mine works great with 206,000 miles on it. I kept immaculate care of it. It should go on forever.
Yep, you got a lemon.
Sorry about that lemmom you got. mine works perfectly with 100 000 miles on it. better start looking for another one.
Yeah, trouble with lemons is, that when they're all too frequently attributed to one model, one does start to wonder. A cheap throw-away car, do yourself a favour... throw it away.
One year and a half ago, I bought a 1996 Geo metro, automatic transmission, 4 doors... I can say it's an excellent car, no troubles at all since I have it.
He keeps its power and stability.
Excellent car.
I have had a 1996 geo metro for six years now. it has 117.000 miles. The longest I drove it was 2,200 miles, worked great. Only basic service the car needed was oil changes, etc. However I did need a water pump put in, and my washer fluid stopped working a short time ago, but hey for $8,000 it wasen't that bad.
I have a 1995 manual Geo and have never had a problem with it 95000 miles later.
