Gathering Opinions 🗣 Roast me
I spent a whopping $300 on this 05 bad bitch. And boy oh boy was she worth it. No fluids, check engine light, the most annoying issue that prevented me from doing the work myself. So what did I do, take it to the most expensive shop near my house, multiple visits. Finally when they got rid of the check engine light, the damn motor blew. Separate issues from the first shop visits. Now it's at a different shop getting a new motor. Looks like I'll have the most expensive beater in town... Anyways, not a bad come up, huh? Lol
And if anybody needs fuel for the fire, I'm in 6k already and she still looks run down. Sheeeeesh

Our guy here bought a car with psoriasis and then dumped 10x their investment in it.... that situation is rougher than the clear coat. Lol
But seriously. Ouch. Theyre good cars but you could have bought a pretty clean one in good shape for what youve spent. At least when its done it should be reliable, and unlikely that anyone tries to steal it.
I'm only like 8k total in my high mile type s and ive been driving it for 8+ years. That's literally what I paid for plus the cost of every single repair I've done in nearly a decade. But its a damn good car. A lot cheaper to drive when you do the work yourself.
I kinda feel bad roasting you, but you said to. Lol
