Yes, it is a bargain if the price is near Kelly Blue Book. Where else can you get a car with this level of performance, utility, and economy for anywhere near this price? But resale sucks on the 9K, unfortunately, so don't expect resale value to stay where it is for long.
Exhilarating? Definitely.
Easy to live with? Well, it depends on the roll of the dice. Properly maintained and driven, it can be very reliable--as mine has been in the 18 months I've owned it ('95 Aero). But shushboxes can be problematic as they age, eventually needed to be replaced at great cost. OTOH, the 5-speeds in the later models seem reliable and engine HP/torque is much higher than auto. TCS (optional in '95) is a no-no, IMHO, as it is almost universally problematic.
