I bought a 1976 Vega and in 32,000 miles the engine was burning oil, the body was rotting out in all wheel well edges. It had an engine sound that mimicked any complex farm machinery. It had a great looking interior though. After 2.5 years 32,000 miles I traded it in and got a heaping $600.00 for it. I then bought a 1977 Nova the car tracked sideways. My 1973 mustang was also very bad, I went though 3 alternators in 23,000 miles and finally they found a wire crossed in the harness. The trunk also leaked and I had a mess with that.
