dropping the transmission in your car unappreciation thread...[views:9339][posts:56]__________________________________ [Apr 5,2007 3:29pm - ariavette ""] mOe said:ariavette said:mOe said:i beg to differ every month i was coming out of my pocket 150-300 bucks to fix something else with my car(which was given to me). To make matters worse to have it pass inspection in MA it would have taken me roughly 2 grand to bring it up to code. After 2 years i just got fucking sick of it and the lady and I went to a dealership. Yeah, i kinda pay out of the ass and its tough, but at least i dont have to miss a week of work because my car isnt running. Peace of mind has no price i am dealing with the same shit.. finally got everything fixed by a relative so it wasn't too much $$.. but there was so much shit wrong with it.. head gasket, brakes, coolant leak, broken water pump.. DON'T EVER BUY A PONTIAC GRAND AM... then i take it to get inspected and it fails for brake lights and emissions ... what the fuck... yea, i had a 1994 Pontian Bonneville hah.. damn it.. i'm screwed.. it's a freaking 2000 .. you'd think it would last longer than this... just got back from having someone look at it.. apparently the spoiler is leaking water all into the back.. lights and all... everything is completed rusted and fried... never buying a pontiac ever again unless it's an old GTO... |

If you can come up with the cash it costs to get that fixed, you might as shall just buy something new and use that cash for a down payment, or buy something used in better condition that that other load. Either way, that blows donkey balls man. |
| ____________________________ [Apr 5,2007 4:23pm - mOe ""] yea i drove a Jeep GRand Cherokee around for like 3-4 weeks until i brought my SUbaru and that thing was THE biggest piece of shit. Laudnry list of problems: + Non working Spedometer + no lock on the back hatch + No Lock on the Drive side door (it sat in newark in an open parking lot for a year so it was broken into countless times, but the thieves could never get it stolen) + steering column was all busted up and held together with tape, THUS the car was make the dinging noise cars make when you leave the lights on, leave your key in the ignition, etc. ALL DAY AND NIGHT regardless of what you were doing + i would usually slide when braking suddenly (dry or wet road) even though the tires looked to be in pretty good condition + It needed an all new electrical system for the rear light assemblies, they just DIDNT work + it was probably THE loudest automibile I have ever heard Yea, after my parents stiffed me with that piece of shit, i threw in the towel and went to a dealership. That was going to be no less than 2 grand to fix all thats hit, most likely a lot more |
