When my '93 CSET went over 200K (now has 258K and is my daily driver), I had to replace fuel pump, DI module, struts/shocks, radiator, catalytic converter (the upper mounting bar tore a hole in it), manual transmission blew up at 252K miles (at which time replaced original clutch), rebuild of Throttle Body, etc. Still have original motor mounts (except uppers). Due to mostly DIY, it still has amounted to only about $100/month average to maintain (including tires, brakes). My car uses some oil (about a quart every 2500-3000 miles). The car still flies. The one thing I am worried about is the timing chain (even though its tight). You definitely are going to spend some money keeping it alive. The question is, how much do you like the car?
