the tempo, that thing is more reliable then anyone elses car i know
call voytek, you can go look at it today.
its a good idea to have a beater, thats why i decided to keep my talon
(yes i know a DSM is on the top list of reliablty-jk)
i would not say that thing is a POS, my GF drove it for years and kept it the inside nice as hell, and it has had everything maintance wise done way ahead of time
he just put a new radiator and bumper on it. i think he was looking to get like 6-700. it has a aftermarket CD player and most of the maintance recipts
I am also looking for a winter beater car, but it has to have a v6 in it. I feel like I am going to die driving a little 4 banger, they cant even get out of there own way.
