> This has 162k on it. Bought it w/ 153k. Only work I’ve had to do that aren’t mods are: breaks had to be bleed b/c i got some air in the lines, new axle (125 dollars) & i had to replace the flasher relay (65 dollars from the stealership). Other than that I just change the oil every 3k. I live in glenville hills & drive it 60 miles a day to HVCC. Every snow storm I drove it to school w/ out snow tires, not 1 problem. She’s 1 hell of a car, absolutely love it. Not the fastest car going but it serves the purpose for me. My friend Jordan has basically the same car that I do, only his is blue & an 01 & he loves his too & had to do bout the same maintenance that I have. We both bought our cars bone stock from older people, which helps. They really aren’t too hard to work on. I’m going to school for Auto & once you get into them, they really aren’t too bad, just some stuff takes a little longer to do. Like removing the headlights :banghead.

Fair enough, that’s not bad at all. I know someone with one of these who had to pretty much replace everything on the car especially with the motor because things were always breaking on him. Guess it all just depends on the previous owner, older people having owned them definitely helps a lot.

I think the only thing really keeping me from taking a leap and getting one of these is that I just didn’t want to end up in over my head and not be able to learn how to fix the car since I planned on using one for a daily driver fixing everything myself and just a few mods pretty much exactly what you’ve done to yours and just going all out on a separate project car. Thanks for the input man, definitely looking forward to seeing what else you’ve got planned for yours.
