a Toyota Corrola 86 stick shift for $350. It had like 450,000 miles on it. The day after I bought it, it got a flat with no spare tire. 2 weeks later the hydraulics in the clutch went out. In less than one year it also need replacing, a rear window, starter, alternater, a window crank, a door lock (driver side) stopped working, battery, radio tape player, power steering went out. Then the actual clutch went out. It had so much rust the windows had an orange tint. When I closed the doors, rust dust fell on the ground and peices of body would be under the car. When it rained, the windows all the way around leaked water. This caused steamed up windows. When going down the highway, there was an orange rust cloud behind the car. After about only a year, I had to have it junked, after $2,000 in repairs. I had to pay $60 to have it towed. The clutch totally gave out. I found out, the guy who towed it, turned around and sold the engine to be put into a newer Corolla for $650. I also had to have sheet metal on the floor because there was a big hole. When it rained hard, water would come up from under the sheet metal, and out of the heat vents.In the winter, I would see sparks along the door frame because it was so rusted, all the electrical kept arcing. I would get out of the car and get shocks when I tried to close the door. That was painful. It was always blowing fuses because of all the arcing. It was truly a car from hell. But, ther engine is probably still in someone's newer Corolla.

i purchase stuff on Ebay, and when you're diligent adequate you may bid on issues at a less extreme priced fee than you would pay everywhere else. I were given a extremely first rate computer for below 2 hundred money, and an same computer might want to have fee a minimum of four hundred everywhere else. yet I had to bid on the article rather of utilising purchase it now, or it would want to have fee alot more desirable. I by no skill bought something on ebay, so i'm no help in that section, yet human beings should be incomes funds at it because they have been doing it for years.

The LaCie's products. I bought some external hard drives and a DVD burner, they all died. Unfortunately LaCie's tech support is out of my city, and they weren't caring for me.
I lost all the data and it costs me a total of $900. I was too obsessed not to spend a few more bucks to get something better.

A GE dryer that lasted about 3 years. When I tried to have it repaired, the guy said it was basically plastic inside and just keep using it till it totally died and then replace.

Have a look round. The baby market is such a money spinner, 80% of products are over-priced sh!te.

an engagement ring from topclarity.com. I spent $400 for a real piece of crap. I sent it back and got my money back. One of the diamonds was missing and the band was all warped from where they had resized it.
