"Beautiful unique look, Wonderful drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upon buying it, The oil cooler went out
@ 100,000 miles. (common problem with this model). This manifests itself as the mixing of oil & coolant. $500. repair cost.
Leaking balance shaft seals. @ 100,000.
(again $500.)
Clutch slave cylinder. @ 110,000 Mi
($89.)
Brake M.C. @ 115,000. $300.
General comments?
The car looks and feels fantastic on the road.
It's feel and handling are superb.
It's not real fast of the line
However has ample mid range power.
Has never left me stranded.
Pay attention to problem area's & it will never let you down.
