"Great when new, not so hot with age"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alternator twice.

Water pump.

Oil pump.

Brakes 6 times.

Burns a lot of oil.

Radiator overflow runs dry.

Thermostat went, runs hot.

Replaced the exhaust 3 times.

Solenoid switch went.

General comments?

I like my car. I know it's old and things are bound to go wrong, but I've had enough.

Dear friend, I have a Tercel 1990 - I have installed a new engine with 35k, runs perfect. But here is my problem: when cold it starts OK but after 20 seconds it dies. Start it again, OK till it warms up to normal then goes OK. But if driven when cold it feels like a lack of gasoline till the engine gets to a normal temperature.

Question = I check for normal vacuum - could be the gasoline line - I can see gas in the filter. Please help, Mario.

I have a 89 Toyota Tercel.

Stock motor. It burns oil first thing in the morning, but after a few minutes it stops. Lots of miles on it, but still runs half ass good.
