I can afford up t $5000, I'm looking for reliability, and NOT a wagon. I love all the 850s, would it be smart to invest!?

I had to fix the chain, but once that was completed, the door only open halfway and stopped. I need to adjust it to open the right amount.

New Fan and Cowl, Properly Spaced. Replaced the Thermostat, plenty of fluid and no leaks. I put in a new water pump about 6 months ago.

Overheats (boiling) after short 10 minute drives. Takes longer to overheat while idling. Any Idea what it could be or ways to find out what it could be?

I just replaced the head gasket and intake valve seal. I had a stuck float valve and fixed that. I also replaced the muffler and muffler gasket. I set the valves at .005" when the piston was at past top dead center on the compression stroke when the piston drops 1/8" down from it's high point. Now the engine runs rough and backfires alot. This seems like a timing problem but I didn't change the valve timing, I didn't open the crankcase, and I don't see any way to change the spark timing. This engine looks as good as new. When I had the head off, the cylinder liner looked so good I could still see the original hone marks from the factory, there were no linear scuff marks on the liner that I could see. The valves weren't burned or pitted. I have a good spark and all filters and oil were changed. I'm stumped! Can anyone help?

Private seller ensured the car worked fined (bill of sale includes their signature agreeing to the statement that the car has been well maintained). 1 month later, the car is sitting at the shop unusable and I want my money back. What's the most professional way to tell them I want my money back?

* When on plane/flat road or sloping down I put the lever on neutral, as the car will keep going at the same speed or faster (coasting) without using petrol.
* I use that also when expecting to stop for a traffic light, few 100 metres ahead.
* I believe it also to relieve the motor by choosing neutral when stopping at traffic lights, instead of keeping the foot on the brake pedal.

Obviousely there are a few European cars with big displacements but they are normally sports/exotic. In England most people refer to anything above 2 litres as large, Americans seem to think thats still tiny. I was wondering if driving conditions make it more economical for them to use larger displacement engines etc. please let me know.

So what's it all about?
I've never changed the oil in my car and have had it for 4 years from new. They are advertised all over Canada...and so I assume america too.
