General comments:nothing is really wrong with this car. i bought it for 500 bucks!!! i did the basic tune up on it (spark plug wires, oil filter, fuel filter, cam and crank shaft seals, pcv valve, etc.) the car needed new engine mounts so i got those put in. for some reason the automatic windows didnt work i got those fixed. i recently put a new alternator in it. ive probably put about 2000 into this car with parts and labor. it does me pretty good, its my second car my first was an 03 neon but it didnt last long. the only thing that sucks about the car is the timing belt likes to squeak alot u have to tighten it regularly and the car smokes like when u start it up or after uve sat at a red light for a little while other than that its great good on gas runs quiet and it has 187000 miles on it i got it at about 150 i would imagine it would last atleast another 100000 with good maintenance. i want to paint it and pimp it out engine and all but im wondering what all that would cost.....
What things have gone wrong with the car:nothin really. smokes a little. timing belt squeaks. i think it needs a new ac compressor cuz when im at a stop light and the ac is blowing the car feels like it wants to stall... other than that not bad for 500 dollars!!
Previous car:03 dodge neon

Smoke = Valve stem seals by the sounds, had this problem with my SOHC standard daily driver Galant, if its smoking after idling this will be the cause & common for this engine. A/C = Turn the idle up abit, doubt is the compressor.
Belt = hope it isn't the timing belt? do you mean the alternator belt? Use CRC belt grip spray this will sort the belt out.

the transmission are weak. If you push it, it will eventually fail. But they are so light and fun to drive hard... not sure I could resist. Be on the look out for a used transmission. Your gonna need it.
