I bought my 2007 aveo hatchback 5 speed with 34k for $7000 in 2009. Its at 125k now. Only major work was a new rack and pinion from an accident in a snow storm. Car was loaned to a friend momentarily, not a good decision lol. Ive done oil changes every 4-5000 miles. Changed valve cover gasket. Timing belt and water pump. Serpintine belt. And intake manifold twice. I recently just started fixing her up. Will start a build thread in the near future.
