April 1997 CrashInjury

We bought this car used, but we have it serviced every 5-6,000 kms. Nothing small goes in this vehicle. We basically drive within a 55 km radius. The tranny would not shift, the body rotted out despite rust proofing, now the rad has oil in it, head gasket, not even 160,000 kms,,,please where are the old fashion value,
