Yesterday my 1995 Geo Prizm took its last trip to the junk yard.
We purchased it new in 1996 with a salvaged title, from a friend for $6000. It was a flood car and had water to just above the radio. Since the radio buttons always stick that was our assumption.
It had over 230k HARD miles on it. Myself and my 3 sisters learned to drive on it. It spent over 5 years at different colleges and transported more kegs then I can remember.
-3 speed auto- Never one issue
-Original timing belt
-Exhaust manifold cracked about 6 years ago.
-Once the air filter (t-shirt) was sucked into intake butterfly, sticking it wide open. I still drove it home.
-Recently the jack went through the rocker panel. My dad and I had a good laugh.
-Its been side swiped, rear ended, and my dad rear ended someone as well.
-AC still worked, but whole car shook violently.
-We had to put plywood in truck because bottom of trunk was rotted out.
-Motor didn't smoke or consume oil.
-Never left us stranded!
The master cylinder went and we didn't feel it was work it to fix.
I carefully drove it to the junker, we got $400 bucks.
