"Dependable, easy to work on"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Catalytic Converter went out at around 90,000 miles.

Air Conditioner needed retrofitted at around 90,000 miles also.

Power Locks went out.

Fan Belt squeals, slight rattle sound, but every mechanic I've been to cannot find the reason. Certain sprays and lubricants can temporarily fix it.

Minor dings and scratches for a 14 year old car.

Brakes grind on humid days or after sitting in the rain.

General comments?

This car has performed better than most used cars my friends have.

Handles great for the year and shape its in.

Nice color and very dependable.

Retraction -- we fixed the squealing noise :-)
