"A car with character, but ready to surprise you with another fault at any time"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Drive shaft broke going up a steep hill, and needed rebuilding at a total cost of nearly $600.

Wiring is now mostly gone and only the essentials work such as lights and cassette player.

Windscreen wiper motor broke down and needs to be completely replaced at a cost of around $300 including labour.

The seats are so well used that I need to use a cushion to see over the steering wheel.

The inside parts are so worn that all window winders are snapped off.

The coil began to fail and has now been replaced. the car starts first time every time since the coil was replaced.

The heating does not work.

General comments?

Apart from general problems listed, the car starts first time every time and is economical to run.

Are you sure it hasn`t gone round the clock or had the clock wound back?

It's a Marina, it will probably self destruct before it gets anywhere near around the clock.
