40,000 Blower motor resistor.

General comments?
Great car for the import look. I did research on cars before I bought this one and like the performance, style, and reliability of the Alero. My friends have Mitsubishi's and they start bad in winter, uncles BMW is a lemon, and my other friends Jetta Stalls and sunroof motor dies all the time.
This car handles great, feels sport carish.
Good aftermaket performance part aviable also.
