I have such a car and it is about to turn 200K miles. Had it since 48K miles.
What to check out:
- ac working? Mine doesn't and it's $400 US to fix.
- vents deliver cool air not engine air to the passenger compartment
- oil leaks. I have one that it's $300 to fix--seal behind the engine. Not impact on car's performance. Except messy underbody and drips on friend's driveways and leaks into the environment. Got an Absorbmat for our driveway.
- front tie rods/ball joints. Today makes a very 'clunk' noise when you turn the wheel way over but my mechanic says that its a known problem, no impact on car safety
- and of course, the roof liner is falling down. However, have used about 30 pins (like the kind that holds together a new shirt) into roof and it's holding nicely
- in it's lifetime, have replaced: brakes, shocks, fuel pump, other stuff.
