"Never buy a camira, they're a waste of money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Pretty much everything has gone wrong with this car. It has needed a whole engine rebuild. I have had it for at least 2 years and still have not got it running. A lot more problems have occur-ed since I have got it.

Opened up the engine at 170000km and needed full gasket set into it.

Compression Leaking into cylinders, Valves not seating properly, crack in-between valves.

Paint has gone down due to sitting outside for a very long time.

General comments?

Haven't driven it yet so don't know too much about it yet...

I can agree to this, having owned one that needed an engine rebuild and still suffered backfiring problems later on. Was a little rough and didn't feel all that strong a car, which was confirmed when it was written off, the crumple zone was basically the back seat.
