Good car
I bought this car from a private seller and it had 80K miles on it. It now has 113K and it's still running great. Had to get a new battery, and a break line busted, and I have a ball bearing issue but all in all its been a great car. I only have to fill up my tank every 2 weeks which saves me tons of money. I plan on getting a new car soon, but will keep this one because it starts in very cold weather (-30 degrees!) and is very reliable!
First Car
Had the car for 4 years now and very happy with it. well worth the money, while rotating the tires i tore a lug bolt in half. also needed to replace the serpentine belt. the motors in the tape deck are shot, but other than that haven't had any problems. always starts up. I took it in for an oil change and the mechanics wowed over how clean the car was. I found a bird's nest under the hood after leaving it sit for a semester. Love this car.
Great First Car
Awesome car, my dad got it for me as my first car and it's been running strong ever since. Only had 2 problems and that was one break line had to be replaced and one coil pack had to be replaced also. I've drove it from Ohio to Alabama straight through, 2 round trips, its never given me any problems whatsoever and it only cost me around $95 in gas money, 1 way. But overall its a very reliable little car, cranks up every time and runs great. The brakes feel a little soggy and it has normal wear and tear of a 17 year old car, but I couldn't have asked for a better first car.
experiencing running problems
when you are sitting still idles fast and just quits running,then it will start back up put in crank censor and still have problems.
Solid
Bought this car new in 1993 and its still running with over 136,000 miles on it. The reliability has not been spectacular, but if it is well taken care of, it will serve you well. The V6 is just awesome. People don't expect it to be a fast car, but the engine is strong and the body is light, making it surprisingly quick. It will blow the doors off most of the 4 bangers on the road today. Various trim bits have fallen off and the dashboard rattles like crazy, but the car grows on you.
