well mine's got 170,000 on the odomiter and it still runs strong........if the moter's in these cars are decently maintained they last for a while ......
when buying one keep an eye out for trans problems.......the 5 speeds in these cars are a weak link ,make sure when buying one the trans hasn't been abused (syncronizers wear out easy).......
also keep an eye out for whether it's been wrecked or not ,it's been getting harder a harder to find one that hasn't been wrecked ,it's easy to run into headaches with a wrecked one depending on the quality of workmanship by whoever put it back together
if you find one with 100 + thousand on it ,check for altinator,waterpump ,smog pump and clutch as these parts seem to wear out in between the 100,-150 thousand mile mark
well good luck
