"A great first car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission gave out around 75K, but 13 years. Ran to be $1500.

Power antenna started being horrible in '99, disconnected it and just leave it up.

Power windows don't like to stay on the track much.

Blower locked in defrost mode in '01. Kinda a bummer since the A/C won't work now.

General comments?

This car has been great. It's very very old, yet has been extremely reliable. The engine is great and has enough power to haul the beast (something like 4500 lbs) past mucho sportier rides. Interior is LARGE and spacious. Factory 6x9's are great, but the tweeters should be replaced or add a bass blocker.

A great car to learn how to fix. Nothing is majorly hard, and the problems are with silly things everyone should know how to fix.
