She has probably replaced the transmission once and had the head gaskets repaired on the Lumina once or twice.
Plus a lot of other breakdowns that are common to GM products.
But to buy a used Caliber? Wow. That is just too stupid.
She will miss her Lumina. She will regret selling it for a Caliber.
Like I said, she’s trading one awful car for another. At least the interior on the Caliber is less likely to disintegrate as fast as the Lumina’s did.
Lumina probably needed a paint job to. It didn’t seem to stick to well to them ;) It likely needed head or intake gaskets, a rack and pinion (they leak out of the box) a new drivers seat (go flat fast) struts, ball joints and a laundry list of other issues that car has. Probably had the GM piston slap too.
However, she really has lame dreams. a caliber? shessh. At least get a SRT8.
