      ebay with paypal is probably safer than handing your card to a cashier, or using an outside atm now a days.

      i think you are talking about end links. $50 would buy both if you shopped around, but they are the same poor design used on many gm cars.

      my audi tt was 2 years old when the radio went. i bought a factory cd player (original was tape) and it did not allow the cover plate to go down.. and even that radio burnt out after 8 months.. i sold it without a radio in it.

      One thing i di not tell you guys is 2 years ago my timing belt which i have checked, had a problem ( It was not the belt but something that holds the belt, forgot tthe name) It normally does not fail I wastold but it did so i had to have the engine rebuilt over $2000.00 That's why i don't buy GM anymore but sometimes when you get a new car and it's cheap like the aveo you figure it should last a few years, so what the heck, but it might be better in the long run to buy a Toyota

      It probably was one of the pulleys that does fail and is supposed to be changed when you do your timing belt service. But we all know that Toyota and Honda are the best car companies and their cars never need maintenance, do not break down, or have recalls.

      be fair Toyota has had a great rep for years that's one reason it has become number 1 beating out GM. i still think that Toyota is way more reliable. I had a pontiac fiero and unfortunatly that motor went so i had to replace it. of course i made GM pay for most of it because it was a design flaw. On the last blower fan i installed it has been redesigned but the old vent tube does not fit. they checked the parts and of course there is no new tube but the old one does not fit so I used a rubber bicycle tire to fit the two together. Not a fan of GM.

      What in the world are you talking about? I just told you what happened to my GM cars. you're the one that sounds insulted, but you shouldn't be. I am not a fan of GM, so what?. Who would be if you had to have two car engines rebuilt?
