My sister called me up the other day, and was telling me how horrible her car is acting. The window will not roll up, the battery keeps dying even though it is new, and loads of other things. She has not even had the car for long, and already it is a clunker. I guess I better keep an eye out for a good car for my sister. Have you ever bought a car and everything was good, then suddenly one day everything goes downhill?
Time for the Clunker to Go

Pretty much every older model car we ever bought ended up like this. The last one we bought was an '87 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. It had sat in this old lady's garage for God knows how long, but even though it had less than 50,000 miles on it when we bought it, it was pretty much a piece of crap, lol. Everything in it that could dry rot had, including the tires, so we had to drop major money in it right off the bat. It was cursed from the day we bought it and by the end, the gas gauge was completely backwards and would start out on "E" when you first cranked it, only to end near "F" by the end of a 15 or 20 minute trip.
It is an older car, but I forget the name. I know it is a foreign car and whatever it is, the mechanics at Walmart had a hard time looking up the name. It was in the car database, but was slightly different. It is so weird, because my uncle knows cars and he checked it out. He said it was good, but I guess the problems were well hidden.
