2009 GMC ACADIA

I have had my truck for about 4 yrs. A friend bought this truck for me and at the price of 6,600. And since then there have been major work done to this truck. To the point of putting the amount that was paid for the truck plus much more back in to it. Since it was bought it’s been one major problem after another. The truck is broke down again and I refuse to put any more money into it.
