The head gasket blew at 136,000 miles.
The drivers side seat has started to wear.
The rocker panels have a severe rust problem.
This 14 year old car has done very well for me.
The car rides like new, and runs smoothly.
The interior is very comfortable and attractive.
The electrical system is in great condition.
Though not supercharged the 3.8 runs 120+mph.
For it's age the auto transmission is in great condition.
I bet if I offered you $15K you'd sell it.
However, I know how you feel. I had a 94 Cougar with the V8 in it, and that car was my absolute favorite. I was sad when I parted with it.
