Brian P Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 as big as that list is, most of it is simple work or looks like you replaced sensors too many times. Any reason for needing the MAP, IAC and TPS changed so many times, or were you trying to find a problem? Also how do you know you NEED wheel bearings?

acke61 Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 i'd say keep it, after doing that much work to it you obviously know that thing inside and out, u go buy a newer car your going to have the same problems except you wont know the car as well...all cars have problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I would keep it, since it has all new parts, it's like an all new car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 My list isn't quite as extensive as that, but its up there! I'm keeping my car till I got money for something I really like, not just trade it in for something thats a little bit better. Besides, trade in value is like $500. If its got a good body and interior, keep it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 for $90ish you can get your bearing and replace it yourself, it's not that hard on the w-bodies. --Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
