The fuel pump died at 99K.
Both wheel cylinders for the rear brakes started leaking at 100K.
One of the cylinder heads cracked at 101K.
The water pump broke at 102K.
The heater broke 3 times in less than a month (this was December in Massachusetts, mind you).
I bought it only because the price was right and I desperately needed a car (my '72 LTD died after 169,000 miles... RIP).
I knew Ks had a bad reputation, but this is insane. As soon as I can afford something nicer, I'm dumping this piece of garbage.
K's had a bad reputation? where did you hear that false information. K cars actually have an awsome reputation through and through. They were one of the cheapest cars available and had a great reputation from 85 and up. 2.2 and 2.5 engines were almost indestructable and repairs are cheap and minimal. If you really want a car with a bad reputation - Try a ford any ford.
