 I bought this car over a year ago and should've taken it to a mechanic.I bought it for $1200 from a guy in my town.It had 251000 miles on it.I drove it 3 thousand miles the first month I had it.To date I have replaced the battery(it had a go-cart battery when I bought it), rear wheel bearings, rear and front brakes, alternator, full front suspension, new tires.So far I probably have about 3200 dollars into it and it now needs a new engine.I got screwed by the former owner but i love this car.I drove it for a few months tops (it was always in need of more work.Great gas mileage.Ive gotten it to 110 before new suspension.Then i hit a hawk.**Bottom line it was my first car and I bought a car that should've been sent to the salvage yard.**
