So last weekend I discovered a sizeable leak in one of the brakelines on the Mystique. Seeing as we were going to be taking it off the road in a little over a month after the plate registration expired, it made no sense in spending money on getting it fixed. So this past weekend, at 323,151km(just over 200k miles), we laid her to rest at my grandparents farm. We're keeping her for parts for now, and maybe someday in the future we'll fix it up and keep that odometer ticking.

We bought it back in '02 and over the last 110,000km have only replaced the alternator, a bearing, balljoint, the tires, waterpump, and a powersteering hose.

She was a great car to us and feels like losing a friend.
RIP 'Stiqy'.

Are you thinking of selling it outright? Other than the brakes does it still run?

We're not planning on selling it. Once we have the funds (and a house with more room in the driveway) we may fix it up and put it back on the road. It does still run, also needs work on the front suspension components, not sure what...haven't looked into that really.

If we decide to sell any parts from it, I'll post an add in the classifieds. (Center console has already been spoken for)
