Well, welcome to the forum.

About your questions, at the risk of sounding like a fanboy, I would say, positive: everything. Negative: they don't make them anymore.

Anyway, just buy it and see for yourself. I'm yet to find a person who didn't love the car, after driving it.

is there any weekness in da car? are da parts expensive? im thinking bout suiting it up.. any thought or recommendation?

[mikeinaus]

parts arnt too bad. the only major problems would be in the distributors. they are known to fail in this car, however that doesnt mean they cant last a long time. my cars still running on the original with no problems.

id also suggest getting a 5 speed as the autos are known to fail quite a bit.

The cars are great, your gangsta slang in your second post is not.

The cars are great, your gangsta slang in your second post is not.

I would say what's not great is that kind of discriminatory message. After all, who are you to tell anybody how to speak, or write?

Nekko: like Mikeinaus said, the most common problems are the distributor and automatic tranny. Other than that, the car is bulletproof.

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

I call it as I see it. His first post was great, second not great. I didn't say it was bad. This is a place to get answers, and I am more than willing to help out. The slang is just an issue with me.

[nekko]

Sorry.. im not tryin to use slang.. im from puerto rico.. sorry if my english gets messed up a little

[Inodoro Pereyra]

You don't have to apologize. These forums have rules, just like any other. As long as you stay within them, you don't need to take that kind of crap from anybody, and, last time I checked, there wasn't a single mention on the rules about using slang.

He's the one who should apologize to you, although, after being in the forum for more than 2 years, I seriously doubt he'll have the stones for it.

I is thinkin you bof needs to chill a little. Da bratha was just expressin he's self and axin for a little assist tance so no need to be poot buttin. I is sure in this siteiation no one meant to throw shade we just all into the proper linguistics.

These cars are getting old now and one of the consistent problems can be vacuum leaks as the rubber hoses start to dry out and crack so check for that especially the big accordion hose going to the intake.

Welcome! Are you in the states or still in puerto rico?

I have family in San Sebastian

[nekko]

I live in Florida now.. Thanks guys.. I got more questions but time will tell if I'm goin to ask those questions.. But one more.. Is it worth buying it for 1800?

[Daninski]

We need more info on the car itself to give you an honest answer. Of course pictures would help as well.

[Inodoro Pereyra]

What part of Florida? I'm in NW Miami. If you're nearby, PM me, and I'll give you a hand.

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

1+ to getting pics. And get it on a lift if you can. There are issues with some of our "older" exhausts. Listen for leaks if you can. Make sure it idles where it should and not bounce all over the place. If you can post up pics, we can give you waay more info. If you need to know how to post pics, we do have a section devoted to some forum faqs.

BTW, thank you for not using the "da" anymore. I know it seems like a stupid issue. I'm getting older and can't stand that stuff anymore. I do find it funny that someone with 10+ years on me has no problem with it at all. I guess I will eventually grow out of it. Anyways, thanks and sorry for causing what seems to be a big deal about it.
