true.

i bought mine about 4 years ago. went for 3 years without doing any other major service besides master cylinder replaced. decided it was time to get a tune up and timing belt changed and all that... and right after all that was done i've had nothing but problems.

the interior lights don't work, never have.
the engine loses power mid-acceleration and bogs down and unless i let off it will backfire.. until the check engine light comes on then its fine. its like flipping a switch. very strange. mechanic can't figure it out.
the brakes are starting to rub the rotors.. which i need to get fixed asap.
got a couple oil leaks...
the roof paint is oxidizing badly... (which only started about 6 months ago)
its got some damage on the rear from the previous owner.. its mainly cosmetic but i hate it being there.
the electric system is messed up badly. i can't connect the light to my spoiler or turn on my wipers without blowing a fuse controlling the interior lights, intermittent wipers, and a half dozen other things.
when its cold the computer doesn't realize its in park and won't give me my key for anywhere between 30 seconds and 15 minutes until it lights up the box around the P.

all in all i'm looking at around 1,000 to 2,000 to fix this car.

i think its just time to scrap it.

i'd much rather put that money into a new car. i figure i could get about 1500-2500 out of my car (with brakes fixed)... blue book low value is 3000.

it seems that if i want an acura i'll hafta go back to 93-94 to be able to afford them.
