I'm now at about 64K for my 99 and I'm not sure I'd recommend one at 75k, personally.
After warranty problems:
I had the power steering go out at about 55k (needed a new pump, I believe, I'm showing my lack of mechanical knowledge)
My SID is now losing pixels really badly (it's been going on for a year)
Had new clutch done during warranty but not covered--at 24K--but the hills in San Francisco and a driver who had driven an automatic for many years contributed.
I had to have two new axels put in--and it was about $1k.
I've been told I need new shocks--but it hasn't been done yet.
I get the Need coolant message going on. Hoping I don't have a leak, but I'll have it checked.
Under warranty:
The heater/vent controls went out twice--the second time they did the whole repair for free (even though I was at 51k)
I've had small issues w/the interior--mostly just a cushion seat that won't stay on properly. So that's not too bad.
YMMV.
