"Not worth keeping"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

None.

General comments?

Great vehicle for around town and not bad driving in snow (with added weight).

Having just had the transmission serviced ($90 in parts), the mechanic suggested I get rid of the vehicle if I notice anything going wrong. Said parts are extremely expensive and some are being discontinued (said I should buy an extra transmission kit for later).

Drove 65 mph on the highway and it felt like the vehicle was going to fall apart.

Your mechanic is full of it. Did he offer you $100 bucks for it "just to get off your hands"? Any used car can have problems the Lexus went through many recalls when it was first introduced. As for parts, guess what? All Chevy or Suzuki dealers can get them and many discount places carry the common parts. The Geo was an offshoot of the Chevy brand and has since returned to the Chevy brand name. Why would you not be able to get parts for one of Chevy's best selling small SUVs? Just as an FYI Chevy owns about 20% of Suzuki and the Suzuki Geo's are built in Canada at a Chevy/Suzuki factory. Bottom line... get a new mechanic preferably one who has your interest in mind and not his inability to work on Chevrolet vehicles.

I've purchases a 96 tracker, and it is very bad! Parts are extremely expensive and hard to come by! If I need a part I'm sure I won't find it aftermarket, and quite positive I'll have to special order it from the dealer. I've never owned a vehicle so difficult to find parts for.

I have owned my GEO Tracker for 6 years now, it has 144,000 miles on it and running strong. Had the clutch replaced and muffler, and an alternator and that is it. I love my 4 door Tracker.
