Your post is full of assumptions as well. I love how domestic cars that have problems are always abused and neglected. Yeah, keep telling yourself that! How do you know this car didn't spend its life garaged in Arizona and had no moisture build up? How do you know they didn't change the oil every few months, no matter what the miles were? 75K miles is hardly low miles, and sitting around for years or even months at a time. I kept up my GM vehicles very well, and they all had major problems by this mileage interval.

These cars are known to have been problematic, and they all have their weaknesses. The poster is absolutely right about the foreign cars they listed as being better choices for a car of this age and mileage. They probably would have had much less trouble with a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.
