The first thing that went was the clutch, then we found that the gearbox needed replacing as well, so that was done at the same time. After that: steering rack, rear bearings (twice), exhaust, 2 doors and the bonnet due to rust.
Although it sounds like a lot has gone wrong with this car, bear in mind that is IS over 20 years old!
This car is nothing short of amazing. For the 3 years I've had one it's had no end of abuse, but still started the next day. It's reliable, comfortable and surprisingly quick despite the small engine. Parts are also very cheap.
I highly recommend putting some high end tyres on this car, because the handling can be great and a lot of fun.
Overall it's a very good first car, and with a bit of TLC could be made to last a long time.
I agree. If you see a Laser on the road they are always in decent to excellent nick. My Laser was a jinx for me, but I still loved it and I prob could've treated it better.
I had just started getting on top of things and everything was finally working when I had 2 accidents in one wk - written off twice!!! Hated to see it go, but theres no way its coming back :)
The 1.3 injection is very satisfying and the control of the vehicle is top class. though the thirst for fuel is too much and there are quite a few problems for the injector.
