I bought the car thinking it was a nice/perfect car for me. Three months later I had to replace the gaskets through out the whole engine, the water, and the thermostat. Now three more months later it's acting like it's going to die. I got a tune-up. The guy said it sounds like the computer stuff in the engine is going bad. That's going to cost a sh*t load!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
