    190k miles for $2500. Really nice wagon, looks pretty clean.

    Are these things hard to find parts for? Expensive to work on or buy parts for? Any big problem areas I should look for? Almost 200k miles near the end of its life and going to be a money pit? Any info thanks!

    I posted asking about them a couple of weeks ago, mostly the have transmission issues, and some of them blow head gaskets, but otherwise they are pretty good (from what I could find out).

    I had a 1986 300e with a stick. A distributor cap was $75, so when the head gasket puked I knew it was going to hurt.

    Oh well. Pretty car. Guess I'll move on to option #2... The Suzuki Sidekick, haha.

    Great car. Reliable as all hell. Don't buy it, when it breaks, you will go broke.
