At 19,500 I had to have the daytime running light feature fixed.
I had to have all the O2 sensors replaced at 21,000.
This car is a great buy and well worth the money!
It should last for many years to come.
I too have a 1998 and LOVE IT!! I bought my car after graduating high school in 2000, and it has been great. I have done routine maintenance on it and have had no major problems. I have just recently hit the 55K mark and she is still running great!
There are only a few things I would change, as an example power windows & locks, and a latch to release the trunk so you wouldn't have to turn your car off to open the trunk.
I do agree that the body and paint seems to scratch and dent easily.
Overall this has been an excellent car and I plan to keep mine for years to come.
I just bought a 99 sunfire for 1500 hopefully it's as good as you say it is.
