Main problem on this car would be the rust, as definitely the mechanical aspects of this car will outlast the body as care needs to be taken.
Head Gasket blew twice, first time at 240000, and just recently as well, causing the head to crack. Also some problems with fuel system which were costly to fix (about $200 in total) as well as the extra fuel consumption.
The car will last a very long time as long as you keep it in good conditions. Rust has caught up with my car so it is destined for the wreckers, but mechanically it is very good, and reliable.
Most models are issued with only AM frequency on the radio so that can be a bit of a bummer, although installing a new radio is quite tedious, as you have to pull apart a large part of the dash to get to it.
