General comments?
I bought this car at auction last year to have a weekend project. I was surprised at what a deal I had gotten. I guess the ugly paint drove other prospective buyers off. I immediately fixed the ignition problems, and the thing just took off like a rocket! I was going to sell it, but quickly changed my mind.
The interior is in pristine condition. I've never had a car, large or small, with more comfortable seats. Most days, my '99 Saturn sits in the garage because this car is more comfortable for my 3 hour commute.
One thing that has really amazed me is that in the 5,000 miles I've driven it, I haven't changed the oil because the dipstick shows very clear. That's pretty impressive for a car with almost 1/4 million miles on it that sits in bumper to bumper traffic twice a day.
Right now, I'm having to rebuild the brake system. But even that is a relatively easy and fun job.
