I bought the car used and had no problems with it at first. After a month or so, the pipe that the coolant went through rusted out, and the engine kept overheating, but in a car 13+ years old, I didn't think it was much of an issue. The brakes needed changing eventually, but that was no problem at all and easy to do. It's quiet, the gas tank is small, it doesn't have a key fob and the only door that has a lock for the key is the driver's side. Also, replacement keys are $70+, so you don't want to get locked out.

I bought this vehicle with 150,000 miles already on it. I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of a 14-year-old car with 150,000 miles on it. I have owned the vehicle for three years now, and other than normal up-keep and maintenance, I haven't had to put much money into it. The fuel economy is about average for a V6 engine. It is easy to work on if you are replacing parts from your home garage.
