Got a new car...hopefully it's reliable

[HiImBrian]

Buddy of mine has an avenger es. Actually, he's on his second and not by choice. His lost the tranny in the first one and now he's got his second. He's got the classic, broken door handle and some compression problems as well. Hopefully yours works out better than my buddies. Just remember, whatever your "plans" may be, that when you mod a car, you are trading some of those reliable points for speedy points. (most of the time)

I've read a lot of bad things about the trannies. I just take it easy on it when I drive it.

And as for the leaking around the door, the driver's side mirror leaks a bit just like you said.

Cleaned up the headlights real good. About 10 mins of wet sanding and buffing with some buffing compound did the trick.

At Goodyear, we make alot of money servicing cars like these, if it was the i4 w/5speed you would have a good car.

Dont expect it to last the long haul, drive it for a year or so and trade it for something reliable and fuel efficent.

I got a 89 camry for almost free, costs nothing to maintain, put 50k on it in the past 4 years, it drove my brother to florida in the spring.

Pros: more fuel efficent then your car, and it will last forever, where your car wont.
Cons: Ugly, 1989

not dissing you, just seriously trade it when you can afford something better

If it lasts at least untill the loan is paid off in a year and a half, I'll be happy.

I'm babying this thing. Not an easy task to do after driving my Laser daily.


But thanks for the heads-up.
