Better be a good mechanic. head gaskets can be a problem... Depending on the year, if the wiring harness hasn't been redone, don't touch it with a 10 foot pole, unless you have an extra $600 and the knowledge to install it... Ball joints and tie rods can be an issue every 60k...
The T hose just behind the engine on the drivers side has a problem with having the plastic break... Leads to big problems if you don't shut the car down in time...
Depending on the year, the Tranny can have issues... 97+ is better...
What options does this car have??
The duovalve can sometimes have problems with one side not opening... requires replacement of the whole assembly...
Evap core was a huge problem.... And really expensive time wise to fix. If you can DIY, it's not bad money wise....
Other than this list, it's a pretty damn good car.... I like mine...
