Sure the parts can be tough to source sometimes but really only a few engine parts. The car was a great traveler in its day so even though it is 32 years old, if it is in good mechanical shape, why wouldn't it be the same today? Now, my 99 has a 16 valve turbo engine and I beat the hell out of it. It has, until moving to OHIO where everything rusts, been my daily driver for years. It will be again once I replace the AMM. I'd drive it before I drove anything else because almost everything on the car is repairable by a backyard mechanic (or side of the road guy) though I've never been stranded by the thing. My newer cars scare me to death because when something goes wrong there it automatically costs big bucks and so little of it can easily be fixed without a lift or a tech II. Buy it, enjoy it.
