Beware, My son bought one of these fantastic nightmare cars. They failed to tell him that at about 65,000 and 75,000 miles the timing belt (one a belt the other a chain tensioner) will need replaced whether it breaks or not. If you do not change it, IT WILL BREAK. Trust me. It is expensive. So far we have put $500.00 down when they decide to finish the job,because engine jobs are done last, we will owe another $1300. Not to mention almost $800. in rental fees. They have it since before Feb. 20 and today is March 29,2008. VanessaPa
