Yep, you can worry about all sorts of breakdowns and repairs. Any can happen and something surely will in the next 20K miles. But that's pretty much true of any car. My '99 has 141,000 miles. I bought it 5 years ago with 56,000 mile on it. So far I've:
Replaced the CHMSL Assembly $80
Replaced Oil cooling lines $600 after Serpentine belt took them out
Replaced Turbo $600
Replaced fog lamp assembly $170
Replaced DIC $330
Alarm battery $18
Tech2 programming to disable alarm: $25
4 Koni Sport shocks $550
Various and sundry maintenance items (ie battery, tires, fluid changes, brakes, etc.... I also put in a BSR ECM for fun.
Not too bad for 5 years and 85000 miles of service -mostly doing my own work. Now before I owned the car, the SID, throttle body, muffler, exhaust pipe, ACC Control Unit were replaced under warranty.
So far, it looks to me as though the years since warranty have been less eventful than the first couple of years.
All in all, it's been a reliable car, has been fun to drive, and at least for me, very economical.
