Subject: 2002 Spectra, Junk

7 years ago, at 26, I became a first time new car purchaser. I wish I had come across this site prior to purchasing the car. I was looking for something economical, yet reliable. I purchased none of either. within 6 months of owning my "new car", I had transmission problems. It was fixed and was follwed by stereo problems. The stereo would quit working and more often than none, ate my CDs and would not eject them. They "fixed" this a matter of 5 times in the first 6 months, including a replacement of the system when the player shot out a cd so hard it flew into the backseat. At my 8 month mile mark, my brakes were soft, and subsequently went bad. To make a long story short, they did a total of 17 repairs, including a rod knock in the engine in the 20 months I owned the car. I wish I had the knowledge then that I have now. I took the car for a trade in and the depreciation was just discusting. I purchased a Chrysler PT Cruiser in January of 05 and upon signing that loan, due to the depreciation, I had to add on an additional 8,500.00 to the new loan to finish paying off the Spectra. This company should be forced to close down for their shoddy so called craftsmanship... and to think these are the kinds of capanies the government is trying to bail out...
