Mechanically, it is in great condition. 206k miles on it now. All new HVAC system, including the compressor, evap, pressure lines, and condenser. The PO paid 3400 bucks to fix it. Blows very cold. New suspension parts, including the rear struts that go for 400 each. Absolutely no rust. Until I move to Wisconsin this fall!
The only thing that I don't like is that the hood was repainted by a MAACO quality shop. Orange peel galore. I'm in the process of wet sanding it and polishing it out. The central locking system doesn't work and I'm busy looking at wiring diagrams and poking around with a multimeter.
I removed the ALDA (a whole new car now) and replaced all the clear fuel lines, replaced the glows with Bosch plugs. I also replaced all the injector holder seals on the injection pump to stop a nasty leak. Got rid of the chromed 15 holer wheels that were pealing and put some 400E 8 holers on. Much better looking. She runs excellent. Never gets above 83*C and gets 27mpg. Wish my wife would trade in the Suburban for this car, but she likes sitting up high. The kids like the wagon more due to the rear facing seats. I love this car.
