Consumer Description

ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS CAR IS IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK. I HAVE HAD MINE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW AND IN THIS TWO YEARS I HAVE HAD TO PUT ABOUT 7,000 DOLLARS OF WORK INTO IT. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY CAR IS SITTING 200 HUNDRED MILES AWAY ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE WIRING TO MY STARTER KEEPS BLOWING MY STARTERS UP. AND AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED THE CAR CAN STAY THERE. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO BOTHER GOING TO GET IT. SOMEONE ELSE CAN BAR THE BURDEN THAT COMES WITH THAT CAR! IM DONE! *TR
