I was wondering what was the worst car you ever owned?
I think my first car, 87 Sable Wagon LS has to take the prize. Tranny was very weak. 3.0 Motor was just pure garbage and very weak.
Also bought a 2000 passat Turbo 1.8 to flip, didnt know about their oil sludge problems. Dues to oil starvation turbo broke the impeller and it tried making it to the motor. Smoke everywhere, loss of power. Learned never buy a used Turbo car ever, and never to buy a German used car ever again without a proper factory warranty. My 94MB S500 solidified those beliefs soon after.
Best. Well my new GS430. but previous 98 LS400 has to take the lead. Was fast and very reliable, nice audio system and not one problem from 90k miles all the way to 140k miles.
96 Mustang GT Convertible also was a good one, built like a tank, beat the crap out of it and it never complained, not once. Miss it dearly.
