Excellent value motoring. Buy a 10 year old and run it for another 10 years
Radiator at 200,000km.
Starter motor at 210,000 km.
Overdrive solenoid at 220,000 km.
Water pump at 230,000km.
Oxygen sensor at 275,000km.
Good, solid car with nice performance. Roomy (wagon) and comfortable. It's really too bad these rear wheelers are not made anymore.

A good buy if well maintained
When I purchased the car, I had the water pump and timing belt replaced.
I also had a larger radiator installed.
The A/C was leaking, but instead of repairing it, I had a non-freon system installed.
The car is comfortable and reliable.

Dependable and endearing - I love it
New brake rotors.
New strut rod bushings.
New timing belt (twice).
All new hoses.
New over-drive relay.
New flange yoke for transmission.
Needs:
New water pump.
Resealed or rebuilt distributor.
New rack for rack and pinion steering.
Also, various interior plastic pieces have fallen off (ie - ceiling handles), the headliner is falling down, the power antenna doesn't work, the tape player is jammed, and the sun roof leaks.
I know I've listed a whole bunch of bad things about my car, but the truth is, it's a great car. It's only stranded me three times, and I put about 80-90 miles on it a day. It has a lot of miles and for the most part it still runs great. I'm hoping to get 300,000 miles out it.

An underrated war horse
Radiator, water pump, timing belt, electrical and the interior.
Interior is shoddy and on mine the cooling system had been abused, but the vehicle's engine and transmission are still super-smooth and it runs like a dream.

A/C, water pump, oil pump, electrical (switches, wiring), pwr. roof, heated seats, etc.
With over 220k (bought w/o records at 190k), still an excellent vehicle. We are in the "parts replacement program" (every month we seem to be replacing some other part!).
We love our "kleenex box".

You don't recommend this car, but you say it's reliable. I'm confused.
