      I bought my 04 Aveo with 35k miles for $1500. I maybe invested another $500-700 in timing belt, brakes, full tune up, and some other misc parts to get it running good. All in all the car runs great; Ive had it now for almost 3 years and put 30k miles on it.

      However, does the car have some issues? Absolutely; the electrical components on it are 15+ years old and my TPS and IAC valve just took a dump on me. Is the car built like ****? 100%, but what do you expect when the car MSRP'd for $10k when a Honda Civic at the time was $16k. This car is/was GM's bare-bones, basic, value car. It is what it is, but I still expect my Aveo to last me another 5+ years/60k miles

      Also, in regards to the video; the driver is being pretty harsh on the car when the engine is not warmed up and the Aveo has a defective o2 sensor; so i didnt expect too much.
