They're so reliable it's nearly impossible to find a new B234R in the crate stateside. Either ran it out of water or ran it out of oil.
Automatic transmissions are hard to figure. My wife's '96 lunched 2 automatics in the first 50k miles. They were religiously maintained and her driving style is such that she's never gotten a ticket in her whole life. (Yeah, I think it's weird too...)
I know of others that have over 200k miles with little or no maintnence.
Personally, if I liked the car and the price is right I wouldn't worry about it. There is a guy on ebay rebuilding ZFs for $1500 and even a rumor of new ZFs in the crate for under $2000. The 98s are nice cars.
