Bought "Lucy" for my daughter. I wanted a basic car that she could
learn on. It has no a/c , she complains about that but it makes the
car simple. Only issue that bugs me is that the rings around the
locks on the doors have broken up and all the cylanders(sp) are at
different angles. I have a heck of a time getting into the car. I
will have to resolve the issue before the winter comes. We are in
Alberta and snow is just a few short weeks away.
Tried the R234 conversion kit on my Areostar and it only lasted for a
year but other people think its great.
Regards
Owen
