“I used to own a firebird, but I had to trade it in for a bigger car cause my 2 year old was getting to big for the back seat. I found this car place and went in and met with the owner, told him I didn't want a piece of crap car because I have a daughter to look out for, since I have had the car it has been nothing but money and problems. The car I traded in for had no problems. He had told me that the car was in great shape, it had new tires, and brakes, and it runs great. …”

Dealer said the ABS pump was bad and that they have only had to replace them on wrecked vehichles and have never heard of one being replaced otherwise. Car does not have ABS now.
