    the end of my expy

    I sold it to carmax who did their own inspection. I would never in good concience sell private party that piece of junk. Their inspection turned up the engine problem (blown plug or worse); smoke from exhaust (coolant mixing in combustion); and various cosmetic flaws. They offered me $700, and I...

    the end of my expy

However, the facts are facts. This car ended up costing me average of $300/...

    not starting when engine is hot.

    Hi gang, here is a puzzle for you. My car runs fine (no check engine light). Starts fine in the cold. But if you drive it 10 or more miles, it will not re start once you have turned it off. After it cools down for about an hour, it starts right up. If you dont turn car off, it runs fine. All...

    rough idle with a twist

    So my expy was running good, and I decided to cause drama....... I know, if it aint broke, dont fix it. I changed some of the fuses with ones that light up when they blow. Immediately, check engine came on, and rough ride. I disconnected battery, changed back fuses, and reconnected battery...

    6 passenger suv delima

    bought my 98 with over 200k miles on it 4 months ago...... total price plus repairs I put in it totalled $3900........... if it lasts me 3 years, it will have paid off............ $100/ month is a good number I think
