Johny Utah Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 How reliable are these cars? How about one with 200,000 miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 My uncle had one. Got great mileage, but wasn't fun to drive at all. He did a couple cross-country trips with it, I can't recall him mentioning any real problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 At 200K I would start to worry about the batteries just because I don't know anything about them and think they might be expensive. On the plus side there is a shop here in Houston that has turbocharged a few of them and they were able to break 100whp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Utah Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I was wondering when batteries may need replaced on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The batteries are 11 years old. Have you ever seen a battery that old still holds a proper charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturg1647545502 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 batteries are supposed to be good for 80,000 so see if he has replaced it already. If not you might eat the bill. If the car has come from a part of the US that regularly sees high temps in the summer the life span would assumable be less. I heard the batteries were originally made by panisonic. http://www.insightcentral.net/encyclopedia/enbattery.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
