    Might have to sell.

    I may be forced to sell my first car.
    I bought it in February, bought some parts for her, put the ones I could.

    The ones I couldn't put, tried to ask for help for a close Garage but the only person who answered me was in North Hollywood.
    So, I just sent those parts back.

    The car ran well, served me well, but there are things I can't do without a garage. Now its running down. I get roughly 6 miles per gallon, my brakes are squeaking, my interior is starting to break apart, my fuel odometre goes below the empty sign and the light doesn't show up, not sure what that problem is.. The good news, no rust.


    Well, I need my car to work,I work as one of those Roadside assistant people so I'm forced to drive to where the person is at. I put on between 20miles to 70 miles a day on the car depending on how many calls I get and that's excluding regular driving and its really hurting me. I tried asking people close by for help and didn't get replies so I'm just forced to give up.

    I may put her up in the next couple weeks, be forced to get a janky 1980's toyota just to catch up.

    Twas nice, my time with her.

    No maintenance, 6mpg, squealing brakes, shitty interior, broken fuel light.

    I'll give you $200 for the car.

      How much are you going to get rid of it for? Put me on the list. I have an empty shell and a pile of parts. Keep me in mind. For serious.


      And I'll offer $201.00


      j/k about the $201

        You'll still need a car no? A junky car won't give you problems?

        Fix it.

          Might have to sell? Get it running and it will be great!

          I drive a 91 CHEROKEE about that everyday! If you want to talk unreliable then you better have something worse to say.

                      I'll fix it for him. All he has to do is sell it to me.

                        I guess we would need more details to really be able to help.

                          well, i have to imagine that 6 miles-per-gallon is an exaggeration. since you mentioned terrible fuel economy on that car however, it did have a corroded fuel line at the rear end of the pump when we first got it home. corroded to the point that it was spraying a needle-fine stream of gas onto the ground.
                          we replaced it that day and the car never leaked a single drop of anything, and we drove it regularly for quite a long time before selling it to you.
                          if one line could get corroded, i see no reason why another one couldn't. it's worth mentioning anyways.

                          also, you said you "put some parts on". what parts were they? if it was anything in the fuel system then a bad install could easily be the culprit for your bad gas mileage
                          some food for thought
