"An unreliable beauty"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The alternator failed at 190000 kilometers on a long road trip.

The shift cable snapped at 191000 kilometers on the same road trip.

At 205000 kilometers the heater coil got so plugged up with dirt and dust that it stopped blowing any air out of the vents.

At 225000 kilometers the head cracked and needed to be replaced ($2100.00 Can).

At 225500 kilometers the exhaust system developed many holes and needed to be replaced.

At 226000 kilometers the engine overheats (with full oil and coolant levels), stalls when the vehicle is stopped and will not fire up again until the engine has reached an acceptable engine temperature.

General comments?

This car is a piece of art. The sleek and attractive body style turns heads wherever I go.

When the car actually works, it's performance is outstanding.

It is very unfortunate that a car that looks as good as this one is so unreliable. The cost of repairs on this vehicle has already exceeded the used purchase price.

Well what do you expect with that much mileage this isn't an import.
