My son bought this car used from an individual-paid 6000.00 in 2008-this is a great handling car-but its had a lot of problems-from tire wear-electrical etc-now the clutch and possibly the transmission need replacing.The estimated cost is about $3500-$4000.00.
I noticed that this model year 2002-these cars were produced in Mexico-so much for outsourcing.!!So whats the solution-get it fixed or get rid of it?Its woth about 4000.00 if its running prpoerly-or lease or buy another car-more debt.?
Would appreciate any comments from readers who might have some suggestions. Thanks
