sp0rky is an unknown quantity at this point
Ok...

MAIN problems are:

sway bar end links, shock mounts, control arm bushing, muffler...
other than that, the cars are pretty damn solid.

If you hear clinking under the car while driving, its sway bar links ($100)
If you hear a clunk over bumps INSIDE the car, its shock mounts ($50)
If you feel a wobble or a "shimmy" at 55mph , its the control arm bushing ($300)
If the car is excessively loud, its most likely the muffler ($300)

They are pretty reliable, and not TOO bad to maintain.

How many miles and how much $$ is the one your looking at?
