Summary:

Faults:
Since I have owned this beast the only thing that has gone wrong with it was the fuel pump.
It has some surface rust but not bad for 25 yrs.
A minor tear in back seat.
General Comments:
I love this car. its acceleration is amazing.
The first day I owned it I took it to a track to see what its got and it topped at 127 mph, and I was at 60 mph in around 7 seconds. superb for this size of car.
If you don't watch it, it'll spin the tires pretty easily.
The brakes surprised the ___ outta me, stop on a dime.
The trunk is huge.
There is a ton of room for the driver and passengers.
If you are going 30 mph it feels like you are going like 15 because it is such a boat.
And it has a pretty tight turning radius for its size.
The only thing not so great about this awesome car is the fact that it goes through a 20 gallon tank of gas in just over 225 miles.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Cheaper to own an old car worth a few hundred or a thousand dollars and pay for the gas than to buy a new one for $25,000.

Well of course I have never financed any car, new or used, but I would have assumed most new car payments would be more like $500/month. Also because I value comfort and safety I much prefer to drive a large older car.

Anything over single digits is good gas mileage.
