Generally they're pretty reliable if treated right. Your best resource is to read back through 8-10 pages of this forum. There are complaints and praise. Make sure you get two keys as they cost $140 to replace. Make sure it tracks straight and doesn't pull under braking. Check every accessory for proper operation. Have them run it up on a lift and look for underside damage -- make sure no one hit a rock or curb. PS - Wing goes up at 62 but comes down at 40. Unless you lock it in the "up" position -- another button to check.

Be prepared to spend ~$100 for an oil change, DIY, or strike a deal with someone who will let you provide your own Mobil1 0W-40.

Most of all, test drive it --- buy it --- enjoy it.
