Biggest piece of crap vehicle you have ever owned

[GettinThere]

Second car was a 96 Saturn SL2. Like Urban96 mine was leaking oil at the seals, common problem with the Saturns. Its what I traded in for my GT.

Another ex-Saturn owner here, also a 96 SL2. I learned a lot about car repair with it. I didn't have any major problems with it, but in the short time I had it (40k to 80k miles), I had to replace the alternator, water pump, radiator, shifter cables, some other stuff. Never got around to fixing the moonroof and the rear window motors. I give that car a C-.

Still own a 97 Plymouth Voyager minivan, still need it. Rebuilt transmission, and it leaks oil pretty bad. One of the six spark plugs is a real bitch to change (gotta remove the alternator). I would love to get rid of it. D+.

Hands down the worst car I have ever owned was a 91 Probe GT auto. It was quick, for the 500 miles that I actually got to drive it. It went through like 5 transmissions. Had the thing for almost 2 years. I'm not even going to mention the money spent on it. Aside from my current beater 2000 Focus, I think my other beater is the worst. 91 Suzuki Swift GT. A nice feature that it has is a trash chute between your feet on the ground. I have no idea where it leads to, though.

was it the turbo or non-turbo version?

 

[DBMSTNG]

hmm, it's a toss up between a 1986 Chevy Celebrity and a 1978 Pontiac Grand Am. giant P.O.S.'s. and i hate carburated cars. ok, not all of them. but as a daily driver, they suck.

 

[snidehockey]

definitely my first car...1988 mustang convertible 4 banger. Mind you I got it in 2003. It ended up blowing a head gasket cause of a ruptured lower radiator hose...which resulted in a bullet sized hole in one of the pistons...

Had a friend of a friend who needed cash throw a taurus engine in it for $600 (labor included!)

Sold it soon after for $1100.

 

[Mel96GT]

.......but like i said, it looked like ass. once, in a dunkin donuts parking lot, a mexican that looked JUST LIKE antonio banderas, and had a similarly ****ty looking truck, walked up to me and told me id never get 'da ladies' with my ride. then, he took another look at it, took a step back and said, 'holy ****, what a peice of **** you have' hahaha.

Antonio knows women!

 

[Mustang5L5]

To be honest all my cars have been nice and i was saddened to get rid of them.


My first car was a 1990 2.3L Mustang, but it was in damn nice shape that it was practically new. I miss it.

 

[Pennywise2]

1996 Ford Mustang GT.
The biggest POS I ever owned.I spent more time fixing it
than driving it.I also spent about the price of the car buying
parts for it.My mustang was probably a lemon and the last
owner didn't tell me either.
I will NEVER buy a Ford again and I highly recommend that
you guys sell your mustangs before something happen that
will end up costing you.
The resale value on Fords is one of the worst in the market.
Also the dependability isn't anything to rave about.
On the other hand my new 2007 Subaru STI that I bought
was the most dependable and reliable car I ever purchased
and I like almost all Subaru customers will buy again for sure.

 

[Pennywise2]

Hands down 2001 Dodge Neon. I lost probably close to 10g on that car.

My friend had a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 stage one that was the
biggest lemon you ever seen I belive you.
Good thing he sold it.

LMAO about all these saturn complaints. My friend has one and he has replaced so much sh1t on it, it's ridiculous. On top of that, it's burns TONS of oil.

The worst car I had was a 89 Supra. ****ing valve seals went bad and head gasket blew at 130k miles. Never again....

Thats funny, my 96 GT never broke on me once other than the intake manifold recall, which was only a slight leak anyway. Other than that it never had any problems & I drove it from 34k to 88k miles. You probably ended up with a car that was not properly taken care of by the previous owner(s).

treat cars right.....they'll treat you right lol

Fords are VERY reliable. For some reason, people are brainwashed into thinking Honda and Toyota are the "most reliable" cars. Why is it that taxi and police interceptors go for 250k miles + with out any problem? Those cars are BEATEN to hell and back, and they STILL run like champs. I refuse to believe that Ford is a bad company. They may be in debt, by their cars are quality. I think you just got unlucky with your mustang. I bet the previous owner beat the hell out of it, and didn't take care of it. Please don't make comments like that on the boards. You can take them to your Subaru forums....

I don't agree Ford's are one of the worst cars you can buy.
Accept it that Ford's are not dependable or reliable they will always
have problems.

Why are you still on a "Ford" forum, but u hate fords?

All three of my stangs were & are very reliable. Not one has every left me stranded on the road even once, & I drive the hell out of all 3 of em.

All three of the Ford Econolines we have @ my work have over 300k on them & they still run strong. we put about 800-1000 miles a week on them BTW. Other than regular wear items, these have been very reliable.

lol like subies are anything better!

i know a standard WRX and STi arent much to compare, but my buddy has had nothing but problems with his 06 WRX, however it isnt very stock anymore, 20g turbo, tuned by Gruppe-S, just put down 4k on a built tranny cause he literally shredded the stocker. this weekend he destroyed two axles at the same time (both rears).

and thats just a 20g powered subie, i wish you luck in your GT35r adventures! ill take the turbo off your hands when you need a quick buck for new parts, i have a perfectly good 4g63 in my garage waiting for a huge ****ing turbo to power it.
