My car sux!!!!!!!! I bought it second hand 5 months ago. It shakes and stalls when idling. This morning it wouldnt start, it would turn over but would not idle long enough for me to give it gas to go. This is the main problem but it also 'chugs' in low gears. (it's a standard). The transmission rubs on the muffler, I think the muffler is loose. It also uses more oil than it should. I'm soo frustrated and I DONT want to take it in and pay more to fix it than I did to buy it. Any suggestions you have would be awesome!!!!!!! Thank you!
