Ever since i got this car off my dad its been acting up on me. Before he gave it to me it needed alot of work...not sure what he did to it but he told me it cost around 1200$
since ive had the car ive had my starter , waterpump, all breaks replaced.
New struts new sway bar. Sway bar links. Motor mounts tranny mounts.oil sending unit replaced.
Theres been alot of money thrown into this car to keep it going.
Now recently my cars been making a noise that i noticed was my belt around my gasket. Head gasket i think? Left side of the engine. I didnt think to much of it i knew i had to get around to it eventually when the snow cleared up.
When i got my sway bar links replaced i noticed the sound in my rear went away. Week or so later we got hit with about 20 inchs of snow and i started hearing some weird noise from my rear again. Not sure if its the links or what. I had my struts in the back replaced already.
My power steering is making noise thats fluid i need. ( maybe a leak knowing my luck with this car)
i was driving to work nd at a red light i noticed it was shaking...not too bad but i could tell. So i get to my work and i stop to wait for someone pulling out of a parking spot and my car completly stalls. I tried starting it nd it didnt work didnt get a cranking or anything...still in drive.
Put it into park and it started up fine.
Anyone have an idea what this could be?
I wish some of yous lived around me so i have someone to turn to with my car problems and also just for help to mod it up.
I cant affors to send it to shops to get fixed its costing way too much.
I live in philadelphia..from what i hear closest people to me are hour or so away.
Well let me know if you know what it could be.
EDIT: My dads been paying my bills and ive been slowly paying him back each month...do yous think i shoukd just get a new car? Like a crappy cheap car i can trade for mine.
Im sick of all these problems but i love my tour ya know?
If yous were in my shoes what would you do?
If i had the knowledge to fix my problems myself i would but i dont.
