"I got a lot of car for not much money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The fan controls only work on the "5" setting. The other four don't do anything.

The lumbar support knob and mechanism has started to work its way out of the side of the driver's seat.

The serpentine belt looks cracked and should probably be replaced soon.

When I got the car, one of the headlight bezels was missing, so the whole thing had to be replaced.

Fuel gauge doesn't work. Using the trip meter and the digital "Fuel Used" display to figure out when I need to fill up.

General comments?

I bought the car as a repo. Saw it in the lot and loved the way it looked.

Very comfortable interior.

If I had a choice, I would have gone with just the GT model- the supercharged engine is not that fuel efficient.

Since the car is a repo, I'm keeping my fingers crossed as to hidden problems. But so far, for the price I paid, I think I've gotten a great car with a lot of performance. And it looks good!

Just to let you know, the fan problem is a resistor that controls the fan speed. It's nothing to get worked up about. Belts need to be replaced, that's nothing new either. From what I have found out, these cars are known for running 200k plus, so they're pretty good cars.
