I am looking at purchasing the above vehicle. I have heard mixed things about the 16 valves...That they are a pain in the ass to maintain, and others say that theirs runs just fine...the VIN is WDBDA34D8GA240011 (if anyone would carfax that for me and post the results that would be mad cool). I was just wondering...general maintenece and such, the costs.

How many miles to the gallon are you dudes who drive this getting?
What problems have you had with yours?

The car does not have a key, so i was wondering if anyone knows how to go about getting one made without changing all of the locks. it is located in Maryland with a salvage certificate, if someone knows anything about this please reply.
