So the freakin' Bonneville is becoming more of a headache than it is worth. $700 into it this week because the fuel systems went out...pump, and a couple other things. About 2 weeks ago I put $1200 into new struts, brakes, and sway bars...not to mention there is STILL something wrong with the rear brakes!!!!! :angry
So anyway, I think I am ready to throw in the towel...my coworker is selling a 199_ (early 90's) Civic in which he is the original owner. 106,000 miles on it, he recently did the timing belt and water pump...but other then that it is in good running condition. I just want to get something where I can turn the key and drive every day and not worry about what is going wrong next.
I really don't want to add another new car and have 2 freakin' car payments..... ya know...
On the other hand, with all this ching in the Bonneville (1990 w/126k), is there anything else that CAN go wrong?? New parts (meaning newer then the car, not necc. brand new):
Alternator
Tires
Brakes (still has problems)
Struts
Sway Bars
CV Joints
Radiator
and now the fuel system....
What would you do??? We have a 2001 Civic and it is GREAT! Not to mention the MPG, we both commute the better part of 25 miles per day to work, 50+ round trip...
The Civic is sound pretty good...but I just don't know...
Since you are wondering, $2200 for the Civic plus I have to detail one of his other cars....
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!
