So it turns out the 02 ex I just bought has many issues, I feel like a damn fool. The whole evap canister needs to be replaced (bad solenoid is rusted on), IMRC solenoid needs replaced, tires are dry rotted and splitting between treads, PS pump is leaking, front left axle boot is ripped and slinging grease all over the place, and rear right sway linkage is working it’s way towards needing replaced. Do I spend the ~$2500 to address all these issues or do I just try to sell it for as much as I can get? I paid $3200 for it, so both my gut and my brain are telling me to abandon ship. The mechanic told me I got burned, it happens when you buy used cars. What would you do? My worry with doing repairs is these problems being the pretty massive tip of a very expensive and miserable iceberg.
