13. Rebate or no, we're getting a new one this week |
|
Over 100,000 miles on this one, in Boston stop-and-go traffic.
Manual transmission and it started sounding like a bus. That and a few other repair items means we're looking at a $4,000 car repair bill.
Time to trade it in.

10. i don't know what the mpg is for my 1995 toyota |
|
camary v6 le, but it certainly does not qualify either. honey's 1992 mercury grand marquis does tho'. he really needs a new car . . . and not the 'vette or jaguar he wants!

Ac is dead. Tranny is close to toast. Brakes need work. It is a clunker by any definition

Those of us who had the foresight to look for fuel efficient cars are getting screwed.
