I would figure these are highway miles. At that mileage how long will it go before needing a new motor or full rebuild? New motor is $3,500. How much is it to rebuild one of these motors and where can I get the prices on the parts? If it isn't TOO bad I may ****** this car up since the inside and outside you can eat off of it.

I'd get a junkyard motor before I bought a new one. These motors are going to be plentiful as nothing goes wrong with them and they aren't in high demand.

I beleive these 2 threads are about the same thing?

I gave some advice in that other one. Take a look, have someone check out the car before you buy it if you want. Like I said in the other thread if the motor is in good condition it might have plenty of life left in it.

I'd worry more about the transmission, especially if its a slushbox. The transmission seems to be the very weak link in the car.
