Sephia

  • miles
July of 1999 had problems with engine cooling system. Car kept overheating. Put it in the shop for repairs which cost $400. Had it out about one week had more problems with the same. In October was driving home and the car went completely out with no warning lights or any indication anything was wrong. When checked the engine had completely frozen up. It had overheated again but no warning lights came on nor did the heat guage move to indicate it was hot. As I am a college student and work only part time I am now stuck making payments on a car I cannot afford to fix and bumming rides.
