These cars suffer from the fact that they were usually bought by people who weren't technical, and when something broke inside the warrantee, then they just took it to the dealership and had them fix it.

Then these cars were sold to people who were just the opposite: They were somewhat technical, but were no where near as wealthy as the original owners so they wanted the repair done on the cheap.

And those cheap repairs can haunt the current owners. It took me about 8 years to finally solve all the LH and EZF problems, and properly "dial in" my car. I'm not an automotive technician- I have a BS degree in aeronautical engineering from ERAU, and fly 727's for a cargo airline. I usually just work on my own car myself. In almost 11 years of ownership, I have only four times taken my car to a shop to have REAL work done, and two of those were timing belt changes done at Zotz Garage in Orlando, who's owner, Ron Zitza is a former president of the local PCA chapter.

In the end...that is really nasty looking! I don't know why anyone would scratch that pot that way~
