I have an appointment Wednesday to appraise and trade in my GP. This car is at the point where its going to start nickel and diming me to death... and thats after either a rebuild or replace of the transmission. Of course all its issues can be expected from a car with nearly 250k. Right now, in addition to the transmission, it needs
Steering Rack
Shocks/Struts all around
Oil Pan Gasket
Heater Core
Fuel Pump
Blower Motor
and something causing a wicked thunk when I hit bumps.
The car Im looking at is a 2010 Dodge Avenger with 51k. It is a 4 cylinder with slightly less power, but it has less than a quarter of the miles.
I would like to thank everyone on the forums for helping me with the issues Ive had. Hopefully the Avenger will not overheat on the drive home from the dealer like the GP did.
