I deleted the post here, but this post really angered people: https://old.reddit.com/r/askcarguys/comments/17w1pur/what_happens_if_i_choose_not_to_pick_my_car_up/
I wasn’t going to leave the truck with the mechanic. I was mad that I approved work I couldn’t afford. I’ll be picking it up this afternoon. However, I cannot keep dumping money into this car. I don’t need to know how shitty anything but Hondas and Toyotas are. This was what I could afford. The newest Honda/Toyota near me for the price I paid was early 90s.
I’ve replaced a shit ton of stuff, but the transmission on these things are apparently shitty. I just need advice.
Stuff I’ve replaced:
-Fuel pump
-Water pump
-Brake lines
-Spider injectors (x2)
-Spark plugs
-Fuel pressure regulator
-Filler neck
-Purge solenoid
-Temperature sensor regulator
-Door pins
-Alternator
Pay the bill, also you literally fixed everything that would make it reliable, everything replaced is common failure points do to age, any old car is going to need work, it’s unavoidable. I don’t care what 90s car you buy.
