Hi, the 2.0 non turbo engine is really solid, i cant imagine much that should happen to it besides maybe *one* headgasket and *one* timing chain in its whole life. personally id stay away from early 2.3 engines, they dont have alot more power and have one thing more to fail, the balance shaft. a 9000 automatic without turbo is not going to be very fast anyways. in general these cars are pretty reliable, but as dexter already said, you should have it checked out by someone independent first, you dont wanna buy a lemon, right? it is up to your personal preference, but i would rather get a turbo with a manual gearbox. they are lotsa fun ;) bye simon
