We got my sister's for $1500 with a freshly re-done headgasket, water pump, full set of brakes and other stuff. It has had some issues with the fuel system but we're workin' on it.....overall pretty reliable, and a very solid/sporty car. The 2.3 auto is not slow at all, if you mash the pedal that little motor can really move the car considering how heavy it is. Feels WAY faster than for example, a 300D.
