Battery drained by the next day after day of purchase. Battery was no good. New battery was installed. Two days later battery was dead again, apparently, because car won't start. I read that this could be due to numerous factors including security light staying on, possibly an alternator problem, etc, or a couple other things, but after the mechanic installed the new battery he said no additional problems were detected. After the new battery installation I drove the car home, was gone for a couple hours, with a friend in his vehicle, came back home again and my car started fine, but after not using car again for a couple days now it won't start. I bought this car used from a private party and believe the seller withheld information about the condition of the car. I spent my savings on this car plus the cost of a new battery, and still don't have a running vehicle at this point in time. Very discouraging to say the least.
