Catera

  • miles
First of all the Catera is a bad car and is unsafe. We have put this car in the shop over 7 times. We have reason to belive that the odometer have been rolled back. On June 9 01 the car had 56615 on a order repair but when I brought the car on July 3 01 the odometer had 56512 how is possible.since then the miles have been impossible.it shows that on one order repair that I drove this car 56512 - 58101 July 3 - July 11 01.thats 1589 miles IN10 days in which I took no major trips. My wife drove back in fouth to work.on the 12 of July we had the timing belt changed which broke about 2 weeks later on 8/11/01.keep in mind we just got the car out of the shop on 7/18/01 odometer read 61095 which means we drove the car 2994 miles in about 23 days.the car have been in and out of the shop. Something strange is going on I have good reasons to belive that this odometer have been tamperd with.it shows that I have went 36532 in about 9 months no way.
