Sucks that much money all to waste in 9 years on such a POS (why do you call it, again jw). O well though.


The frount end componants (lights grill bumper fenders) move very easily this time of year with deer strikes. Might be worth poking around a few local body shops asking if they'd want (buy) the parts...

Good luck, I think that engine's got alot of aluminium in it. it's worth about $220 to the scrap yards as is, alot more if you get the AL outta it and scrap that seperatly...

Actual mileage is about 91,700 currently. It has 5w30 synthetic castrol oil + a Fram ToughGuard filter. We'll keep on driving it to see what happens.....thanks for the tips on the scrap value, I was wondering about that. According to the service book it needs a new timing belt at 70k, but we didn't do it because the evil dealer wanted a HUGE sum to do it.
