It's rapidly making the descent to POS, so I don't have any choice. It's breaking faster than I can rally the funds to fix it. Crying or Very sad

Sorry to say but $1000 a year is cheap to maintain a car. I was at a similar point a couple of years ago though. Was lookin at a car that needed motor, paint, interior work, tires, brakes, front end rebuilt etc. Started looking for a new car but fixin this one up slow ended up cheaper then a payment/insurance hike every month. Good luck whatever you do.

Yeah... I was gonna say, 5,000 bucks over a 5 year period is pretty decent.
Any car you get is gonna cause problems, unless you buy something new.

Just remember:
Fast and Cheap is not reliable

Cheap and reliable is not fast.

Well.. you gotta do what you think is right, and I can't fault you for wanting to help out the family.

Although, just out of curiousity.. what is the problem with the car right now?

bumber that you are selling your car just remember if you buy another used car you are most likely going to have problems with it.

Laserbeak,

most of those problems actualy seem like pretty minor fixes, the gas milage is probably a $30 O2 sensor.

the brake feel is hard to fix, a firming pedal would be found by getting a larger MC, there is nothing that new parts is going to do to fix that.

the chevy salute just happens. although you could do valve seals again, that is something that i wouldn't be concerned about.

the hatch pull down is a $30 peice at most

some of the cosmetic/interior problems are going to cost more, but really going to another used car, you are going ot deal with the same things, after cars are run for several years, they have problems. cars require continued matanace, that is the nature of cars.

You want expencive, I want to get an LS1 Shocked

. I might settle for an Lt1 but I was talking with shops and it would be less to put one in my car than to buy an LS1 car, but who knows. Wiggly wiggly

. I found out that going fast costs money.

Good luck with the car/car hunt Jason. If you replace it, just make sure the replacement has more than 4 cylinder's. Razz

Well, if you decide you want to keep it, let me know and I'll help you pound through all your problems. I'm not far from you geographically, and none of your issues are serious. We can hook it up to a scanner and find out what the deal is with your gas milage.

If you do decide to sell it, let me know how much you want for it. I could use a donor car. Wink
