"Nice if you can afford the gas"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Leather doesn't looks too great anymore, rotors are severley warped, mystery issue of stalling at stoplights and rough running traced too bad crankshaft sensors... cheap parts, only $20 each on ebay, but expensive labor... estimated at over $1200, i'll see if this fixes the problem.

General comments?

It's fairly fast for how big it is, the Northstar V8 is awesome when it's running right. Great mileage on the highway, around 26mpg, but horrible in the city, I live in a very urban area and get 11-14mpg in the city. The car handles surprisingly well and is really comfortable, I drive it an hour and a half home from college every weekend and the heated seats are great in the winter. This car is great in snow as well. Factory stereo sounds great as far as stock equipment goes. I'm selling it and buying a 1990 Audi 90 Quattro after I fix the crankshaft sensors, being a college student I need something more fuel efficient.

If you drive them mildly you can average 21mpg all around I get 31 average on highway, but takes practice, my wife drives it like she stole it and averages 14mpg all around.
