Ive had an 04 "3" for a little over a year now... its got about 60k on it so far.
my question/point: is the car just supposed to randomly fall apart at any given moment?
i think the chick who had the car before me must have beat the crap out of it because all of a sudden the damn thing has all these little things wrong with it...
last saturday my check engine light came on. so i figured it was prolly my gas cap (again) and im just going to go to auto zone to get it checked anyways. so he said something about the thermostat was going and needed to be replaced... then he was like "wow, this is a pretty young car for that to be going - i wouldnt sleep on it if i were you."
so i went to get my oil changed later that day and they were like "you need a tune up, you need a thermostat but i cant get it til next week and you need spark plugs and your back brakes are going"
f'in hell.
i mean this isnt my first car and i know how to "maintain" a damn vehicle... but c'mon now.
so, any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated before i get rid of this thing and get something else.
thx in advance.
