| I used to own a firebird, but i had to trade it in for a bigger car cause my 2 year old was getting to big for the back seat. i found this car place and went in and met with the owner, told him i didn't want a piece of crap car because i have a daughter to look out for, since i have had the car it has been nothing but money and problems. the car i traded in for had no problems. he had told me that the car was in great shape, it had new tires, and brakes, and it runs great. since then i have had to replace the muffler, new tires, new brakes, defroster does not work, need a radiator, i'm a single parent with low income i can't afford to fix the car everytime something goes wrong. | |||
