Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR IT'S ENTIRE LIFE. AT 56,000 THE PAINT IS BEGINNING TO CHIP/POP OFF THE CAR. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TRIM HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER. DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO FIX ANY OF THE CAR'S PROBLEMS PERMANENTLY. HEAD GASKET AND CYLINDER GASKEST HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT 32,000 AND 50,000 RESPECTIVELY. CAR IS UNFIT AND ENGINE POORLY DESIGNED AS A WHOLE. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR 4.5 YEARS AND HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY TO KEEP IT GOING.
