"Definitely worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats starting to squeak.
Air flow meter replaced at 150000kms.
Computer chip resetting at 140000kms.
Fuel filter replaced at 120000kms.
Starter needed replacing at 130000kms.
Fuel consumption was very high, approximately 350km per tank of about 55 litres in peak hour day to day driving.
When turning with steering wheel locked full turn, noisy sound coming out at 180000kms.
Minor oil leaks around gaskets.
Window winding regulator cable snapped at 135000kms (common fault)

General comments?
Very economical on long trips approximately 500 - 550km per tank of 55 litres.
Fairly low maintenance car, spent approximately $1,000 AUD on the above repairs, half new and half second hand.
Car seemed to be still powerful for a 4 cylinder and reliable.
