I was just trying to point out (not being rude) that you can't really expect to buy a car with 94,000 miles from a used car dealer and expect it to be perfect, unless you get really lucky. Most people get rid of them to avoid the issues that come up at that mileage.
PT problems that you are looking at in addition to the sensors would be the timing belt, water pump, etc... assuming they haven't been changed before which is very likely. That job isn't cheap.
Did you get any maintenance records with the car? If not you could be in for a ugly repair bill down the line if the car dealer doesn't work it out with you.
To give you a similar story, my girlfriend's mother wrecked her Kia a few weeks ago. She got her settlement and went car shopping.. I told her to buy something with under 50k miles, but she didn't want a car payment so she bought a 2003 Chevy Malibu with 97k miles for $4500 or so....
She's had it 5 days and the AC compressor just blew up. I kinda laughed a little on the inside.
Personally, I bought my PT in March with 45k miles... it's approaching 52k miles now and has been a perfect vehicle.
