I USED TO OWN A FIREBIRD, BUT I HAD TO TRADE IT IN FOR A BIGGER CAR CAUSE MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS GETTING TO BIG FOR THE BACK SEAT. I FOUND THIS CAR PLACE AND WENT IN AND MET WITH THE OWNER, TOLD HIM I DIDN'T WANT A PIECE OF CRAP CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A DAUGHTER TO LOOK OUT FOR, SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT MONEY AND PROBLEMS. THE CAR I TRADED IN FOR HAD NO PROBLEMS. HE HAD TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WAS IN GREAT SHAPE, IT HAD NEW TIRES, AND BRAKES, AND IT RUNS GREAT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MUFFLER, NEW TIRES, NEW BRAKES, DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK, NEED A RADIATOR, I'M A SINGLE PARENT WITH LOW INCOME I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THE CAR EVERYTIME SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
