or at least that is how it feels. First it is the stuttering issue, then it is the A/C, now the windows, and the keyless entry, as well as some other issues I know that it probably has. Maybe it is just the age, but I feel that the tranny could go any second, and I am not sure how much longer the digital pieces of it will last. I never thought I would be saying this, but I am sadly starting to think of finding another car to buy in order to possibly retire the ole girl. I hope it keeps on kickin' as it has for the past year or so since its problems began, but I feel I need to prepare for the time when it will totally crap out on me. It will suck to see it go, since it is my first car, and I have kind of attached myself to it, but it is beginning to show its age. The other problem is the expense attached to keeping this car running(digital speed sensor alone is over $300, not to mention all of the other digital gear). The ole girl may end up in a scrap yard, crushed into a cube

 

That is one of the cleanest looking Maxs I have seen in a long time and I am partial to the silver and grey two-tone. If you keep it for another 4 years you will have a very clean classic. All cars need to repaired sooner or later and you seem to know how to fix this one and what has already been repaired. If you can get hold of a parts-car with all the digital components of your present car you will have some present and future needed parts at your disposal for a fraction of the cost of individual parts.

 

Time to get a 5th gen and fix up you 2nd on the side.
