 I, unfortunately, was forced to sell my car 6 months ago because of a move.  It was the best car ever!  My mom purchased it new in 1997 and she passed it on to me with 30,000 miles in 2000. I drove it on long trips, long commutes, and stop and go traffic for 8 years and it NEVER gave me any trouble.  The only thing I changed on it is the battery after 9 years of use and the tires because of normal wear and tear.  I did regular maintenance on it to make sure it stayed happy and that's all I needed to do.  I miss that car so much.  If you get a chance to get one, buy it, you will not be disappointed!
