Thread: Go Kart :: 2007 Chevrolet Aveo5

Purchased in September of 2020 for $900 with 126,000 miles on it. So far I've done one oil change with full synthetic, and I'm on my second tank of gas.

Runs and drives, but needs nearly every kind of maintenance. Problems include struts, lower control arm bushings, wheel bearings and/or cv joint (click click click and griiiind). The power steering pump may be going out because something is squealing a little on turns, spark plugs might be factory original, probably needs new timing belt, and serpentine belt. The steel wheels are rusting and the hubcaps are losing paint, and the windshield is cracked by the defrost vents.

So I decided to buy it. If it makes it through a Minnesota winter, then I'll start maintenance and repairs. I'm not an experienced mechanic, but I am a broke working class man with garnished checks. That means either I perform the repairs, or they don't get done at all.
