| I'd say they're pretty reliable. I have had a bad one, it all depends on how well it's maintained. At that age you'll want to be thorough, a lot of little things could need work. Watch out for the clutch at that age. If it starts to go and isn't replaced quickly it will break the pedal cluster. Also, those rear subframes can be loose due to rust and age. Hard to tell about that without putting it in the air though.
