Mechanically, i haven’t heard anyone talk about big $ unexpected repairs. It’s built like a tank.
Electrically, most are single issue except a “few” horror stories involving key, screem, and reprogramming quandaries.

my car has 52K. Replaced secondary air pump 75$, fan blower transistor $40, mechanic bled out & replace brake fluid that failed moisture test 150$. That’s it !

a fellow somewhere outside Atlanta “stole” a car from a used car dealer last Spring for maybe 2K. Put little money in it and he has a GEM. He is here somewhere as a member.
Find someone knowledgeable when you locate one that looks good. What’s your budget?
My budget is around $12,000. But in reality if I found something super special in some way...low miles, perfect color, perfect color interior and already signed by Eric Stoddard, I'd probably go a little higher. Thanks Joe.
