 I bought this car in 2004, it had 13K miles on it.  Thank God I had at least half the manufacturers warranty on it.  I had to have both power window tracks placed - I had to have the TP sensor replaced.  I have regular maintenance on this car, I use it to get back and forth to work.  I've put the average 10-11K miles on it every year.  It has 54K miles on it now and it's in the garage getting the transmission rebuilt.  I know this is a cheap but if you're having to replace your tranny after 50K miles you might has well just spend the money up front for a better made vehicle.
