I am thinking of purchasing a 2000 sunfire, $1800 for 160000 miles. car looks good, but am unsure of longevity etc.. your opinion?

Ok assuming that you have went to the store or someplace to buy one? most auto parts stores will have them, walmart also may too. look under the dash with a flashlight by the drivers side for the fuse panel. usually they are silver circular about a inch across, its a two or three prong deal, find it pull straight out may have to wiggle it a bit but pull it out, then look where it goes and take the new one line it up and push it in. should be good.

Way over charged, Should be able to replace in around 2-21/2 hr's. Need sec. opinion. good luck. Might go buy you a repair mannual for your vechile and do it yourself and a buddy, Not that hard. Good luck.

that is an poorly built vehicle. They have electrical issues, as well as reliability issues. Maybe a 96 camry/corolla will be a better opt. I have a 96 camry with 220K miles and never had any issues. Hopefully this helpd

nope thats a pretty good deal u got there

I suggest rechecking all your work, because if it started prior to the repair you may have missed something.

mybe nothing, you could replace oil & filter, gas if you can, as gas gets old setting that long, check to see if it had antifreez, and replace. with only 16,000 miles and in a grage tires and hoses should still be ok. look to see if there apears to be any cracks, also the belts.

did u hav a proper OBD 2 scan-that sensor would posses a 5 digit code-in reality it gets u in a general area-dont go replacing parts till u get other opinions -think basic 1st like a loose wire etc-or a tuneup

if you live in the north with mountains and snow then no, but if you live in the south where it usually warm and flat lands then hell yeah good deal, these engines last awhile if you maintain them properly, i currently have 275,488 miles on my 1993 camaro i bought it since new, yeah you will have to do maintanence i went through 2 alternators and 3 batteries, like 6 sets of tires, etc but that is just basic maintanence, i also replaced the clutch twice since it is a stick shift I replace that every 120k miles, I change my oil every 3000-5000 miles my engine is still clean. I also use BG product additives during oil changes also.

That's a lotta miles!! My suggestion would be to take the Yukon to a reputable mechanic and pay the $50 to $100 to have him check it over. Specifically have him check the compression, suspension, transmission, clutch, (if manual), AC (if applicable), etc and then get his opinion. Good luck

It's much less work to pull the engine from the top which requires removing the hood so that the engine crane and engine will clear.The trans would be left in the cradle.Before removing the hood,a sharp scribe should be used to trace the outline of the hood hinges on the hood.If this is not done before hood removal,getting the hood lined up with the fenders and everything else will be VERY difficult.As far as rebuilding the engine,it isnt very cost effective anymore.Just for example,if you thoroughly indexed all the rod and main caps,then tore the engine down and took it to a machine shop,JUST the machine work performed by the machine shop will come up to about $600.Then you have to take it home and assemble it.Pistons have to be purchased,rings,main and rod bearings,cam bearings,camshafts possibly,timing set,water pump,head gaskets...etc. In these times,it is much more cost effective to just purchase a remanufactured engine like a Jasper that comes with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.Or you could check out a good used engine from a salvage yard such as LKQ who is nationwide and has warranties available.
