I got the car from my father who bought it used at 89000 miles. The car had 122000 miles when I got it. As Jim would know, snow + rear wheel drive is not the best even with snow tires. So my father finally decided to get an SUV when she developed the ETA problem.

I needed a used car for my wife to learn how to drive on so I got a free car. Well almost free. I had to fix the ETA which was quite expensive. Currently 145000 miles and still counting. The engine and the tranny are strong. I hope to keep her until 200000 miles then see how she is holding up.

Thanks to this forum most of the repairs have been parts only otherwise she would have been junked long ago. The dealer here wanted $7000 to fix the ETA problem when $1800 (I decided to get a new one instead of a rebuilt one) fixed it. Thank you all.
