Power antenna rotted in 2001.
Power windows slowed down to a crawl.
Paint job not holding very well, needed a new one in 1994, couple touch ups since.
The car performs well and considering that I had it close to 6 years did over 120000km (75000 miles) on a $4000Can initial purchase and about $2000 in repairs, it did not treat me badly. It's no speed demon, but can hold it's own on a highway and I had it up to over 200 km/h (120 mph) on one occasion. It's comfortable and thanks to FE3 suspension it rides quietly and handles well. The leg room is adequate and the back seats comfortable enough for a long haul.
Overall it is a solid family vehicle with a surprisingly low fuel consumption for a full size vehicle.
I don't see a reason why not to buy it if it is in a decent shape.
How would you know you the car held up well @ 200 km/h if the speedometre only goes up to 140?
