Re: rocco maintenence to date

[redrocco@www.gcj.net]

Hello everyone!
High maintenance no way

I bought my rocco about two years ago for $1300,
the interior was a POS  -----  got leather's for arround $100 18 mos 
ago it had some body detailing to be made
the f#$%&#$%ng sunroof  which  i have try to get it to work smoothly 
for about two years now and i can't get to it

to shorten the story I  had spent about $1500 on it  and  i think i 
have still to spend another grand to make it look and feel the way i  
really want .

but i have never stalled on the freeway, no major engine work
so when i got an 11 year old car (now 13) i expected to work on it 
since most roccos arround my town are driven by kids (16~21) and most 
of them are crash or wrecked


cheers
