Default Ludes fallin apart

Well today i "tried" changing the fuel filter to no avail...the bolt stripped on filter..the goddamn fuel line bent in a lil bit..car still runs...but i feel its gonna be too much money to make her look decent..I have rust in the rear tire well areas on both sides..Needs a new driver side cv-joint..and the transmission has developed a leak...not to mention the oh so ever elusive TDC Check Engine Light..I think its time to let her go...Let me know what you guys think..Ill be movin out on my own pretty soon and i need stable transportation..I cant have a car thats on the edge of costing me some serious dough..especially if i plan on going to school in the fall..What do you think i should do?

Kia or daewoo, both have buy one get one free and you could go halvsies with someone to get 2 for the price of 1 ~10k brand new too cheap as hell.


Daewoos have the D-Tec engine, and thats like the Vtec, except only has 85 hp. Before you critisize me, a girl that tried getting with me had a daewoo nubira, (never heard of these in my life) and called my car a civic, so she got sent home, DTEC baby!

not true man, my boys kia sephia is pushing 200k miles and still running decently, had to have his tranny rebuilt at 160k miles, granted I can run faster than his car, but it gets him from a to b.

I would get one because like they were sayin its an A to B car...Its cheap and i guess from what i've heard there pretty reliable...also i would have to have something sporty to take out on the weekends.

if you're gonna get something crappy like that, get a hundai instead. at least those are kinda sorta half decent. we've had a couple at my work and i've been impressed when i drove them. they're probably where honda and toyota were about 10 years ago.

Yeah Hyundais are good...but there also gettin expensive...A brand new Elantra costs about the same as a new base Civic.....I see old Hyundais still out and about to this day
