I give up...

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

I give up...

Post by putertopia »

I'm selling the 94. I'm tired of devoting hours into it only to get nowhere. It's going to the stealership to get what will probably be a couple hundred dollar diagnostic done, then it's going to my friend who's 91 Camaro needs a little work as a daily driver. Using the money to pay off the engagement ring I just bought, something that I think will yield me a little more happiness than a cocky GM product :roll: Selling for $1300 with the bad paint, bad trans lines, and somewhat bald rear tires.

Congrats on the Engagement!! It's too bad to see you're having to give up the car, but it happens.
Bye Bye:

Hey, this is an opportunity for someone. I got a '98 GMC Sierra 3500 from a kid down the street about 4 years ago. New wife said one of them had to leave. He sold me the truck cheap. I was happy, she was happy, and he was out of the dog house. (So I guess he was happy.)

I spent $160 on a two hour diagnostic for them to tell me 'We're not sure...'. I see why it's called the stealership. This is the first and last time I've ever taken my car to a shop on my bill.

Trust me, the car will cost you ALOT less in the long run than the ring will.
