As of 9am this morning, my 2003 black GT coupe with the massively bent frame will be gone! I won the lawsuit yesterday, so they have to take their bent up mess back and give me back all but aprox 1,000 bux. I'm extremely happy. In the 11 months that Ive had the car, its been in the shop 95 times for repair, and the battery was dead again last night, so it could go back in again, but i'll spare them of that. Its being replaced with a 2004 Toyota Solara- fully loaded with nav. Silver wasnt my choice of color, but the price they gave me on it, I couldnt turn it down. I should have that by thurs night. I'll post a pic when I get the car. The pic I took earlier is too large to post on here.

When you test drive it watch for a pull to the left. Not all of them have that problem....but the few that do, the owners play heck getting Toyota to fix.

If it don't pull.......Congrads. I have 21,000 on my 97 Camry xle with no problems so far. I bought it 10-30-03

In the shop 95 times was due in part to the huge accident it was in before i bought it. Most of the car had to be re-wired. The car was also basically beaten to death by the 16 year old who had it. Lots of stuff falling apart, or just didnt work period. It was NOT a good car at all. When it doesnt start and has to be towed into the delaership many many times, that accounts for quite a few visits.

We have Mitsubishi's in our rental fleet at Enterprise and they are ALWAYS ALWAYS in the shop for repair, and I drove another one and wasnt impressed with it after I test drove the solara. I still have the 2003 fusion orange GT1 coupe, and will for a LONG time.

Hows the sunfire comin along?
