General comments?
I have been driving this car since 1986, for 21 years of very reliable transportation and good gas mileage.
This car likes Alternators!
Original clutch still working.
A/C first charge needed in 2005. When alternator went out in 2006 the a/c failed and the mechanic could not find what went wrong. Did not replace because of cost.
Best car I have ever had, but need to get something newer.
Mechanics have told me this car will go to 300,000. and I believe it.
