 I should have been a smart buyer...I 
thought I was when I first fell in love 
with my 96' 626.  I loved that 
car...but it was a lease and I wanted 
to try the newer 626, so I bought the 
99'.  Why at 60,000 miles I had to get 
a new transmission! 1,500 dollars!!! 
OUCH! With the way the economy is 
going...I had to use all I had and 
some...just finished paying on the 
stupid thing.  My brain just could not 
understand why I was getting a new 
transmission...to what should have been 
a decent and new car and great 
condition.  Oh well...now I know...and 
hopefully you will too before you think 
about purchasing a 626.  Hopefully, 
they're making them better!
