I think you're pretty lucky. I've only had mine 3 years and have
had
brakes catch on fire, and electrical fire, a failed oil pump (with only
30k
miles on it!), door handle snap off, fuel pressure regulator fail, A/C
suddenly lost all the refrigerant, Idle screw blew out of the throttle
body, coolant bottle cracked and lost all the coolant!... and so on :-)
I
love the car, but repairs are killer. Only gets a few thousand miles a
year because there's always something breaking so it's on jackstands or in
the shop most of the time! (right now it's waiting on a trans rebuild due
to a broken c-clip internally :(
My friend had a '90 that she loved too, but after multiple engines
in just
a couple years it was too much :-( I miss that car, we had some fun road
trips in it!
Wonderfully fun cars. Reliable, well, some people have good
luck... Some
don't...
