I bought it used at about 50k miles, and it's now at 54k after almost 1.5 years of ownership. I want to look into changing the sparks and wires- Kwik Kar wants to charge 160+ for the pleasure, but I intend on getting the parts myself and doing it for a hell of a lot less.
Changing the plugs is a simple job... just follow the sticky thread and you can get it in 30 mins or so....

I bought mine at 45k and in addition to the plugs I had the transmission flushed... the auto tranny is a weak link. Not sure what the history is on the manuals but it may be something you want to consider if your tranny has never been serviced.

Welcome to the forums...
