Dude, sometimes it's the best you can do. . .people neglect stuff they don't own, that's natural, but I'm sure he had a reason for buying it (namely price), and I'm almost positive it has something to do with the heat. At any rate, I'd say dump it, because you're gonna pour more money into it the rate you're going, and that money could go towards a down payment, and finance for close to $200/month for something more reliable. . .
