Cavalier

  • 42,000 miles

This car has been a lemon. It now has 45,000 miles on it - the plug wires had to be replaced at 17,000 miles. The head gasket has been replaced 3 times. The timing chain guard broke. The water pump was replaced less than a year ago and needs to be replaced again! DON'T ANYBODY BUY A CAVALIER unless you like to throw away money.
