I am seriously considering selling it or trading it for another one. I payed 4,400 for it and it drove great on the test drive and there were no problems whatsoever...the guy that sold it to me was a mechanic even and then I get it home and it develops all these problems.
I kinda want to just start from the beginning and do everything myself.
That or have someone who knows what they are doing look at it and tell me everything that is wrong with it and what to do about it :|

Well the things I know of are:
- Leaky radiator (multiple spots)
- Belt squeak (fixed once came back due to radiator leak I believe)
- electrical problems
- This blinker thing as of today
- Absolutely terrible gas mileage (around 9 MPG)

Left hand finally took out my LCA. Should I spend the time and do the replacements myself or go ahead and have a shop do it for me? Let me know what y'all think
