It seems like a fairly stupid design, hardly up to Benz engineering
standards to have just a little plastic hinge to make the accel work.
And yet, they hardly ever break. I've had one in my entire fleet.
And it was the sliding plastic socket, probably broken when someone
floored it excessively
that sums it up. that 2.2l ecotec was THE BEST 4 cylinder the general ever
built up to that time, but the bean counters cheaped out for a few pennies
and the chains were giving up the ghost on account of it.
instead immediately stepping up and saying "hey, we let the beancounters get

if it is at all as described, you need to jump all over it (or needed to
have already). it does happen.

It depends. Are you living in 2006? :-)

Other than random dings and stone chips you'd expect on a car that age,
the paint looks like new.
