I'm part of the club now!

Post by BigDcBiggs »

So I bought a 2011 9c1 from a guy in NC who sells old police cars. I love rwd sedans, but I can't afford a Fiat Chrysler charger. As cool as an SS is, a Caprice always seemed cooler. I think I overpaid, and have already had issues, but I love my car.
So far I have had to tidy and remove old police wiring, build cupholders, and cap the old antenna holes in the trunk. The front right rotor is warped (even tho the dealer said the brakes were new) and after 3 months of ownership had to drop $1700 on new lifters all the way around. #6 intake couldn't get it up, regardless of how much Viagra and porn it saw. Oh and the spare tire I put on for a bit shredded all the way around. Now the abs, tc, sbt lights are on. I have bad luck with cars
2011 PPV 9C1 "Blue Two" (150k+ miles, stock)
1989 Chevy 2500 "Black Bertha" (330k+ miles, needs motor)
1993 Mercedes Benz 190e 2.6LE "Black Bandit". 1 of 700 ever made, needs Transmission and frame
1986 Mercedes Benz 190e 2.3 "Creampuff. Frame and Trans for Bandit, but too fun to gut (yet).
A never ending stream of bad luck with cars...

Your car is north of 100K miles. Lucky you discovered the stuck lifter before it blew up the camshaft.
