So, I see I'm not alone...
Since I've been bitten by the car bug again I've been trying to do some "logical" thinking pro and con for keeping the Mystique.
It has the same occasional clunks in the rear suspension and buzzes in the dash as when I bought it.
The front suspension still squeaks no matter how it's lubed.
Since the MAF was replaced it surges while driving during warm-up.
At 97K the timing belt looks ok when I take off the top cover, but I dread knowing what the tensioner pulley might look like.
I need to seriously look at the tires and decide what to do about the upcoming snow/ice season.
The sunroof doesn't get opened as much as it did and has a tendency to snap and creak in the colder temps.
There are a few dings and scratches here and there of course.
After the last heavy rain I opened the trunk and had water pour down from the license plate light covers.
I was offered $1000 from the dealer where I bought it towards anything on the lot. (I don't THINK so...)
But the Pioneer AM/FM/CD I put in works and sounds fine and the wood dash trim I put on last spring still looks good.
Looking forward to the Auto Show in Boston next month...
