374 dollars down the drain and then i'm advised what other items it needs. I've had this car since it was new, 4 years, 19K miles and it needs the following.

1. Swaybar end links
2. Rear shocks
3. Passenger side tires
4. Brakes all around

They tried to sell me 2 tires for 490 dollars installed. I almost died laughing. She's been a great car but i'm not buying saturn again.

 

wha?! 19K and it needs all that?

 

Go somewhere else, sounds like someone trying to make some money off of you.

 

nonono, 19k when he bought it 4 yrs ago lol

 

...He said he's had the car since new

 

right, and its 4 yrs old, he bought it 4 years ago for 19k and just spent 374$ getting it looked at and after all of this he is told he needs to replace some things....

 

you guys sure cant read, it has 19,000miles on it. He did not buy for 19K. Read!!

 

lawl...good call
reading>me

 

Haha

Had it since new
Has 19K miles on it now
Paid 21K for it brand new

Better?

I don't know why it needs all that ****. I can understand the brakes needing a refreshing but the swaybar links? I'm not putting anymore money into it. Hopefully it'll be gone tomorrow in a nice trade.

Can someone explain to me how the wires from the throttle position sensor to the ECM could become corroded?

 

I understood it just fine, it's numb nuts in WA that was having issues

 

you need beat with the fail stick

Troof!

 

Sway bar links seem to be a weak point on these cars so I can see it.

Considering the wires from the tps to the ecm are under the hood (and therefore exposed to the elements to some extent) they are open to corrosion.....shitty wiring harness imho, should go a lot longer than 4 years unless you spray under the hood with salt water on a regular basis

Shocks, well, they do wear out but 19k seems a bit early. If you always have people in the back or drive on really bumpy roads all the time it might cause quicker wear but...19k, yeesh.

Tires....why only the passenger side? Worn out or curb damage? If they are worn out and the drivers side is not, there may be other problems involved. Unless you've been doing the nascar thing..."Go fast, turn left, repeat 1000 times"
