Charlotte as we call her is the toughest little tank out there. Shes been hit countless times here on the streets of Philadelphia, and also survived with minimal notice colliding at high speed into a pole. The serpentine belt pops when it rains, she has a wicked whine, but handles marvelously. I bought her at 5th & ROckford for $1499 with 89,000 mile on her. There are currently 132,000. So far, the starter gave out, the flasher unit flakes out,that slippery belt needs to be replaced, I''ve been through two sets of brakes and a few various bulbs, but other than that she''s a real champ. She even had self-corrected problems. Surely they''ll return, but never at an inconvenient place or time. I love this car and plan to keep her as long as humanly -or automotively- possible and I am willing to fix her up to classic status! Best roadtrip car I''ve ever had!
