Bought this car a few years back off a lot - the seller didn't know its history, particularly whether or not the timing belt had been changed. I'm guessing it hasn't - so with that in mind I rarely take the car out of town on longer drives. It now has 111k miles, certainly far overdue for a belt change - but the sticker is I've gotten very expensive quotes to have the job done. I don't know what the car is worth, very little without AC, but it drives incredibly smooth and comfortable.
My question: What are your mileage experiences with the model? Should I expect a breakdown soon? I've added less than 2K a year for the past three years. |

Thanks for the info: Your's are the price ranges I've gotten, coincidentally what the going selling price is for a base model such as mine without the AC. I'll keep giving it some thought but probably continue to use it as an 'around town' car. I've also got a 08 Suzuki Forenza, don't get me started, with pretty low mileage, 81K. Wondering if I should sell it and install AC in the PT and change the belt while I'm at it - probably walk away with a hundred bucks in my pocket - but don't tell wifey what I'm thinking.
Seriously, it'll probably remain an around the town car with low miles. |
