| Re: Who owns a Catera? Talking about paint jobs, any one knows any good paint shop here in New York. Sorry for the interruptions. Anyway, my Catera is a 97, i had the timing belt recall done after i got it.It had 78000 miles then. It seems that the previous owner already had some of the more common problems because there is not much left for me, well except for some minor ones that I did the fixing myself, like the Heater control valve leak, no heat in passenger side, a very noisy blower when it's switched to 3rd speed setting and loud in 4th, the possessed sunroof which acted on me during a winter morning when snow is actually falling and I am in the middle of a 65 mile trip, and the secret of the foglight relay which until now I haven't discovered yet which i probably won't anymore since i installed a new set of HID foglights, so far the car is running fine and the last thing i will do i guess is get it a fresh job paint. The only thing that worries me is that i have no choice but to street park which is not paint friendly specially when you are in a busy corner where cars come and go. Maybe one day, i'll get the Catera a good house to go home to. Hmmm, this is sounding like a soap opera already. Anyways, this site has been so helpful and to the moderators and to those who are always willing to share their experiences, my hats off. |
