I bought the car with 50k miles for 500.00 and thought it was a steal. I replaced the tires and muffler.
After about a month the headliner fell down. Then it developed multiple electric problems. The dash lights work off and on. The fan motor switch has a short and either works on high or not at all.
I put new front brake pads on it and after a few more hundred miles the left front brake rotor broke in two due to the caliper slides rusting badly!
I replaced the left outer CV boot twice and now need to replace the actual joint.
The car leaks oil and needs a valve cover gasket as well as an oil pan gasket.
The car runs hot and loses coolant, although I haven't figured out where it is going.
In the winter the door locks tend to freeze up and I had to break a window to get into it this past December after leaving work at 1AM. Lock de-icer and other attempts didn't work.
This is the worst car ever put onto American roads. Spend your money on a good pair of walking shoes.
Why would anyone bother locking the doors on a car they only paid $500 for? Is someone going to actually try to steal it?
I know where that coolant is going, look in your oil pan, HEAD GASKET!!
