"Gets you there, but not back"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The alternator broke, so I had to get a new one.

A few days after that, the altenator belt collasped.

Mechanics fixed the belt, then a few days later it collasped again.

A mechanic told me that the altenator system is faulty.

The car had a tendency to die at any moment. One time the car would shut off and die whenever I used the brakes. I got the car jumped and running again from a friendly driver, then the car died again when I used the brakes. Luckily, a police officer was there to assist this time.

Car made a squeaky noise whenever I would start it up.

Tires would squeal in over steer.

Really bad gas mileage.

Steering wheel is way to thin and hard to hold on to.

Car came with a AM/FM radio, but no tape or CD player.

Air conditioning system went out at 100K.

No light for trunk, which means at night time you don't know what you are doing.

No airbags.

Seat belt would lock up at the slightest stops, sometimes while driving down the road.

General comments?

Not much mileage on car for a 86 model.

Nice interior.

Leather seats.

Handles very well.

Body design is nice looking.

Affordable price at $500.

Its uh, not a new car. It's a 1986, plus... it's a chevy cavalier! Not much prestige and luxury is associated with that model. I would stop complaining over rudimentry basic maintenance.
