"Great Little Car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator went at 120000. Easy fix.
Alternator went at 120000. Easy fix.
Rear brakes went due to a leak in a brake line at 130000.
General comments?
Great car. My mom bought it in 1989 for $600. It had only 7000km on it! She drove it until 1998 when it had 88000km. It's the car of my childhood!
I had it from 2000-2003. I rolled it over to 130000. Now my sister has the car and it runs like a dream!
