"A cheap money-pit"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The water pump froze at 101,000 miles. Shortly afterward, the muffler went bad. The timing belt snapped about two weeks later. And the starter died shortly after that.

General comments?

I bought the car for $500 after it had been sitting for two years. I would not suggest buying this car. The fuel economy was great, but the reliability was terrible. I spent about $1000 on repairs for the 2 months that I owned it.

Well duh dude never buy a car that has been sitting for 2 years! Your lucky nothing serious went wrong with it like a brake line busting. Also for a car with a $500 price tag somethings probably wrong with it anyways.

Sooo... you were upset when the *muffler* "went bad" after 100000+ miles?

I see.

Considering that equates to somewhere between 5 and 10 years of driving for an average in North America... I'd say the exhaust was due to depart.
