Congradulations on the new ride and I hope you get as much enjoyment from it as I have from mine. Bought the car about 3 years ago with 84K on it and have put a substancial amount of money in it, which, at times made me wonder if I ought to unload it. So glad I didn't. This year alone it took me on a 4200 mile trip in February and a 3500 mile trip in September,,,, both in the highest comfort. I put in many 700 to 800 mile days with no ill effects on this 61 year old bod. In the town I live in I have only ever seen one other TE, so the chance of being seen as a everyday vehicle will never happen. I change oil every 3000 miles and constantly try to keep ahead of problem areas before they become one. My wiring harness still looks like new and the A/c still blows cold. I have replaced an evaporator in a 124, so the prospect of doing another one does not scare me. Oil pressure sensors go bad as do lots of other routine maintence items. Keep abreast of this site and it will help you beyond belief,,,, I can't begin to count the dollars folks on this site have saved me. Fastlane is the first place to look for any parts you may need,,, and Arthur Dalton will tell you how to put them on. Enjoy.
