Kind of underpowered, but willing to > overlook. Original owner is selling. Skip it... it's a non-turbo, has 125hp and is slower than snot. Quite frankly, 9000*T*s are a dime a dozen and unless this thing is dirt cheao I would pass... Like someone else posted, if this thing has a single mile over 120,000 you are going to be in for some serious repairs... Likely candidates include transmission (if it's an auto), windows and a/c. You probably won't have any issues with motor mounts for a long time, since it doesn't make enough power to damage them... A good price on this car would be $3000 to $3500... if it's anymore than that I would keep looking. -Justin
