In 2 days I will have had mine for 10 years. It's had issues, air con especially! and depreciation was HUGE! But even now, it runs fine.
Give yourself...and the car you bought...some credit. Both deserve it

Well thanks, it IS looking better all the time. For the first few months, I thought I'd bought a headache. The driver's seat had some broken springs, the seat belts didn't retract (small issue but a pain), the passenger side mirror was busted, water in the trunk and on the rear floor (soaked), no inside light, no dash lights, both front seat switches broken, both rear windows non operational.
I've fixed most of it (trunk still leaks some) and the day I learned how to adjust the alda was a good day. Really boosted my acceleration. If I could just get that trunk totally dry, I'd be a happy camper.
