Radiator bad, thermostat shot, head gasket blew due to burst hose, blower switch melted, radio intermittent, passenger window switch is bad, radiator fan will not come on, etc...
This car is great if you put up with its problems and do repairs yourself. paid $300 for it and have put about 1 grand into it since. tons of problems, but usually easy to live with or fix. great gas mileage too. cylinder head was rebuilt for $500 when the head gasket blew. engine now has some piston slap at startup when cold, but it generally runs fine.
You should probably stay away if you plan on using a mechanic for repairs.
I would like to add that anyone who is considering buying one of these cars carefully inspect the under hood wiring first. Mine is flaking off many of the wires and I suspect that major problems are looming. Just a thought.
