I thought I was getting a really good bargin when I bought my Festie for $700. So far here is what I have done.
New Windshield Washer Pump
New Windshield Washer Nozzle
New T-stat (it did not have one)
Radiator flush and kit
New Radio
New Speakers w/wiring
Replacement Passenger Mirror
Replacement Drivers Mirror
New Interior Dome light
New LED lights inside the cabin
removed Viper Alarm system
removed Air horn system
Purchasing full rear window washer/wiper system and reseviour
Still need to do -
Repair/Replace seats (either replacement seats or covers)
Repair Emergency brake
Get all washer units in working order
install Read Window Defroster
Repair/Replace the air control duct on the back of the car under the tailgate door (1 is missing)
Fix High beam headlights
Get dome light working with switches (only works when you turn it on)
Get speakers for front of car hooked up
Fix or replace Radio Bezel which is clear caulked to the dash
Fix Both driver and passenger window regulators so window roll up and down properly
Add some noise suppressing material under carpet so muffler system isn't so loud (this I think is just because it is a super little car)
Replace broken Left Front turn signal lense (being held together by the same clear caulk as on the dash board)
Replace Right rear brake light (being held together by black epoxy resign)
Replace chewed and chipped radiator fan for better cooling
Replace cracking heater hoses to the radiator.
Find a battery hold down that is correct for the car (I am sure the factory did not use bungy cords)
Find the bezels for under the headlights
Well I guess that should be about all I can think of just off the top of my head. I paid $800 for my son's Dodge Intrepid and it needs 2 struts and that's it. Kind of thinking I made the wrong choice. It does get about 40 mpg, but at this point I am not sure it will be worth it.
She likes it, but I am paying for most of the repair parts and doing all the labor
