Faults:
Passenger window won't open.
Rear windows operate incredibly slowly.
Has an overheating issue at the moment, just replaced the water pump myself cost me all of $20 from pep boys.
Brakes need a bit of shove to get them moving, might have to have that looked at soon.
General Comments:
One thing that struck me after I'd parted with my $600 is that apart from the small glove box, there is absolutely no where at all to put anything. No little storage areas, No Cup holders. It not a problem for me, I just thought it was strange.
The 3.1L V6 is pretty damn good, still quiet, still able to get you in trouble with the law pretty quickly, and not too thirsty.
The seats are bizarre, the split front bench seat doesn't recline, well mine don't. But they are soft enough and at a reasonable angle, so it doesn't really matter.
Body work is a little rough, bottoms of the doors are rusting slightly, and a lot of the paint is... well... just plain missing.
Suspension is suitably soft and spongy for a car of this age, but it copes with Bostons pot holes very well.
Despite its faults I adore this car, my girlfriend is not that impressed, but what does she know :-)

Man, what you wrote about your car is describing my car perfectly. No storage or cup holders, no reclining seats, rusting door panels. But the engine is pretty good and for a 1991 it runs like a car 5 years newer.
