I suggest the 3.8L to every now and then... but I think I am going to stop.
I have taken decent care of my car, sure I beat on it for a bit, can't really blame the problems associated to that too much...
Things I have replaced...
-power steering pump
-window motor
-had 2 CATS go bad on me
-now my radiator, and some of the cooling system is taking a dump...
-"sealed" foglight is out...
-4 of my 6 speakers are blown, 1 unconnected because so bad, getting ready
to do another.
all nothing too bad, but my car has 80k on it... WTF, to an average car person, this could cost them $2k in repairs. Maybe more, and even then there are other things that will start coming up... Brake jobs, clutch, etc...
Brakes are exactly a cheap job on the 98+.
I mean granted it all isn't that bad since I do my own stuff, and like working cars... but after working on the 5.0, and a few trucks recently, I forgot how easy cars can be to work on.
But to the average person/friend I know that would never do their own oil change...
not sure its a good car to suggest anymore, that and the fact they are getting old now.
