This car was given to me by my dad as my first car, and I did not like it at first just from appearance and how old it was. After I drove it for a while, a gained a deep respect and appreciation for what this car is. It can compete with any luxury sedan from 1990 and can keep up with others that are even newer. I live in California and take this car on canyon runs, and can keep up with brand new V6 camaros and others. Its also great because it is easy to work on, as it does not have all of the electronics that newer cars do. Its plenty fast and sporty, but also extremely comfortable. Because it is an old car that did not sell very well, there are OEM parts available if something goes but these parts can be expensive to purchase. Overall, I love this car and can say that for what it is, it is a fantastic all around car.

Spend 4k+ and bought a lemon, with lots of problems on transmition,power steering, and electricity. spend another 2k to repair, no use at all, still have electricity problem again and again and again, guess this car is been flooded sometime ago. besides, it really a good car, very comfortable even it's a 90's car, performance is good thanks to v8 and automatic overdrive, accleration is good too. Fule enconomy is fair.

This car is not for those who are used to Japanese reliability. I would compare this more with having an exotic vehicle that no one in America can actually work on. Owned this car for less than a year. I absolutely loved driving it (When it ran properly). It acted up more than any vehicle I had ever owned. Even had a lifetime warranty from AAmco, what a joke, they rebuilt it 4 times in less than a year. I finally just traded it in just to get rid of the headache.

Cheap to acquire - but expensive to maintain

It was my first car back in 2002 when my parents bought it for $4000 on the side of the road. But I'm pretty sure we got a lemon/salvage because the car started to break down not even one month after purchase. The AC is the first thing to go out, it would sometimes blow cold air and sometimes not, and because it has electronic controls instead of a mechanical linkage. The problem is almost un-fixable given the age of the car. It is also a gas guzzler, and the acceleration is only ok. The worst of all problem is that the car sometimes would lose power and just stall in middle of the road. There is no way to bring the car back, even after changing the alternator. The mechanic said there is probably electric wiring problem but it was never found. The car lasted a few more years sitting in my parents garage after I went to college, and one day after oil change the mechanic had somehow bend the front hood and it just popped up in middle of the road when I was driving, and that was the end of the story for that car. My parents traded it in for couple hundred bucks and got a new car instead... Regardless it was still a interesting piece of memory as being my first car.
