Money Pit, Worst Car EVER !!!!
I purchased my 2007 PT Cruiser 2 years ago with 105,000 miles on it for $4200.
During the time I've owned it, I now have over $8000.00 in this 11 year old car due to constant mechanical issues.
I've had to replace the transmission,(over $1600 for a used one) the water pump, the timing belt which was over $1000 ( this is a 7 hour shop time job), broken sway bar, Brakes, Rotors, Calibers... and a year and a half later... the brakes are going bad again. Also, a broken drive shaft, broken motor mounts... after the last service, they noticed the inner tie rod is going bad ass well... last summer the air conditioner stopped working as well.
This past New Year's day... car wouldn't start, had it towed in... it had a leaking valve cover gasket which caused oil to foul out the spark plugs.. they had to pull the intake manifold to get to the valve cover... $600 repair bill... it's never ending with the car.
I've owned over 25 different vehicles in my lifetime and this is without doubt the worst car I've ever owned.
