problem #1

Jul 222004

626 LX 2.5L V6

  • Manual transmission
  • 98,000 miles

paint is peeling pretty badly on passenger side front quarter panel. Thought it might have been an isolated issue, but alot of 626's have paint problems.

Its not so bad, but the problem is, that the "paint issue" is spreading pretty fast. I use mothers wax and wash the car by hand, but the paint is just getting worse and worse. I use the same wax and wash on my other 2 cars without issue, so I know its not the wax.

Fix is obvious- repaint it, but for now, not worth the money vs value of car.
