This is a great fixer up car, I've driven it for three years without issue. I've put new tires, brakes, shocks, batter, over those years. When it was time to renew its inspection last year it would not pass. My local service shop said it needed O2 sensors but "they didn't know if it would cure it". I really needed a new car for work so I decided not to chase it and just go for a new car. I then was lazy and the car has sat all winter. I went out this weekend to do a quick clean, take a couple pics, and sell it. It started first shot but is still not running perfect. This is definately a great car for someone with a good mechanic or who is mechanical. It has very low mileage and I'm confident will run for a very long time. Here are my known issues: O2 sensor/issue, seems to me like it's not quite running on 4 cylindars and has kind of a gas odor from exhaust. leaks anti-freeze from somewhere near the radiator..I never chased it because it was mild and random, just carried water with me in case it acted up or ran low. I never drove more than a couple miles at a shot. Paint is good but lots of little dings and dents. One more time so no one is confused...it won't pass NY state inspection as it sits.
