Some work

I bought this car not realizing how much I was going to have to replace under the hood, but now I have a new car..basicly, everything under the hood has been replaced the only thing that has not been touched is the transmission. Good car I have put a lot of money into it just kinda sad to see what it values at. I have put 5x more money into then what it is worth. still working out some qwerks, dunno if I could sell it to get my money that I have put into it just wanted to see what it was worth.

Extremely comfortable and smoothe. Needs work.
Pros

Great A/C, moon roof, etc., dependable family car

Cons

New radiator required.

I purchased car from best friend car dealer with 53,000 miles for $7500 in 2003. While getting some A/C work done in 2010, this same friend offered me a used engine with 30,000 miles on it, which I accepted, even though I didn't need it. So, the current engine has only 61,000 miles, and it runs perfectly. The first seven years, this car was only driven by my stay at home wife for errands. When she passed away in 2010, I used the car as my back-up. This year, I just returned from trips to Las Vegas and Yellowstone, with no problems whatsoever. Last week, it overheated, but caused no engine damage. It needs a new radiator. My wife would not keep records, but I have a detailed record of its every maintenance item and milage with MPG recorded for every fill-up. There is no body damage. Car has never been in an accident. For my own peace of mind, several years ago, I printed out an approximately 2500 page comprehensive repair manual which I have used very little, to go with the car. It has never failed an inspection, the last one in January.

Very Nice
Pros

reliable, lasts a while

Cons

minor hiccups

This is my first car, and it is in fact older than I am, but it drives so well and is very reliable. For it's age, the hiccups it has are not a problem. The only problem mine has had is piston misfiring, but that is not a huge problem. I do wish the engine was not so difficult to navigate for my repairman.
