Nothing that wouldn't be expected from a 17-year-old car that had been sitting for a long while and I bought for $200.
I replaced the brake pads, the radiator, the water pump, the belts/hoses, and the front wheel bearings.
Since then...it's been dead-stone reliable--of course.
Except for the rust. oh, the rust. if you can find one w/out a lot of rust, BUY IT.
What a cool car! I get a smile every time I turn the key.
It's not the fastest thing out there, but it's quick enough to surprise some people, and that engine is a jewel. even at 20 years old, it revs to almost 8000 RPM, and is still turbine-smooth doing it. a joy to use.
At 2100 lbs, the car handles like a little go-kart, but still fits my 2 very large dogs in the hatch area.
I drive it every day, even though it's 20 years old. it's a BLAST to drive, and TOUGH AS NAILS...I'm pretty sure the body would rust away before the car would stop running.
That's a japanese ripoff of the AMC Gremlin. Put AMC badges on it and some people won't even be able to tell the difference.
