First of all, when you buy a $2000 car, you cannot expect things not to break down or go wrong, especially the exhaust system and other maintenance parts. In NY, mufflers and pipes are good for a couple years top's, unless they are stainless steel. To complain about these things is ridiculous. The horn??? Really. A $10 part and you're going to whine about it? You have to understand that $2000 doesn't buy you much of a car these days, it's not 1970. You're lucky if a 2K car lasts you 2 years, very lucky. So if all you have to complain about is the muffler and a horn, you really need to wake up and be happy that it was only the horn and the muffler. As far as the transmission goes, if it dies, you junk the car and cut your losses. Drive it until it doesn't move any more.
