Last thing I did on my wife's Pontiac was replace the power steering pump so I could sell the darn thing. I think I got $900 for the Grand Prix. The trunk wouldn't open and I didn't investigate why. There was something important looking broken in the suspension too, but I don't recall what it was, and it drove ok with it broken.
What is the list of things you've done to repair this car Xist?
I took a Subaru Legacy from 119,000 miles to 220,000 miles with a couple tire changes, plugs, maybe wires, and wiper blades. Got a P0420 code but there's no smog check so I ignored it. It used a quart of oil every 3,000 miles, but Jiffy Lube would top it up between changes.
My 2006 TSX is at 120,000 miles with no issues.
Big Yeller has a shorter list of things that work than things that don't. Drove it tonight to help a friend finish moving out of an apartment and was annoyed with the headliner touching my head the whole time. The grid heater cycles on and off because the speedo doesn't work (which means cruise and odometer is broken too). Dad recently replaced the wiper motor, but it's still not right (slow). The windshield seal is bad, and pops open when you close the doors. You've got to give 1/8th turn corrections constantly to the steering wheel to drive straight. AC died long ago. There's a squealing bearing or belt...
