great cars

The timing chain and fuel pumps are not an issue , it's the chain guides and fuel pump relay that fail , but both problems are easy to resolve ,, just change the upper guides rails and tensioner every 100,000 miles or 8 years and keep a spare fuel pump relay in the glove compartment, these are great cars , I have owned mine since 1999, with no major issues . I get 22 MPG and I have 160,000 miles on it . If the A/C works , the transmission doesn't slip , it tracks down the road straight and tight , and it has no rust , than $2800 is about right ... but parts can be expensive . the good news is ,most problems on these cars cars are easy to repair yourself , good luck..
