"A money pit from hell"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Starter went out 215k taking the alternater and battery as well.

Cvjoint (both sides) 215k.

Water pump 214k.

Transmission slipping 210k -changed filter and fluid, only got worst

now it won't change gears at all!

Window drv sd won't work never did with me anyway.

Brake calipers and master cylinder messed up 215k.

Harmonic balancer replaced 215k.

General comments?

Its like driving a land yacht.

I like driving it its like driving my couch.

Overall engine its reliable.

Overall other stuff its definetly a money pit.

Fix one thing drive it 2 days and something else breaks.

I guess its ready for the front yard as a yard ornament.

If I junk it the seat goes in the house as my couch.

Really what do you expect at 215K..Most of those problems occur around 150,000 K.

Ya, most problems on these old cars start at 200k+ and mine is about there. Its master cylinder is rusted to hell, trans slips which IDC cause if I keep it I'm rebuilding it for more hp =) But my window comes off the track from time to time also, but other than that, it's not got many problems at all, but I would like some new rims, because my hubcaps are long gone. I don't know where they are LOL. Having a hard time finding the rims specs >.<
