Cool. Welcome aboard Stooge. Those are good miles for a 95 with 51k. Tell us a little more about it. Again congratulations with your purchase. I hope you know to change the water pump becuase they have the plastic impeller and they usually go out at 60-70k. Get one with the metal impeller.

Welcome to the CEG!  Our cars have their share of quirks, but they also have a lot to offer. When taken care of, they can be quite rewarding to drive and own.

If you can CHECK the oil on your car, you can change the WP for free.
25 minutes, TOPS (with the V6, at least.. phew..) and ~$70 for a newer WHITE PLASTIC impellar (stay away from the black plastic impellar..) or pick up a metal one from NAPA.. (~$70.00 as well...)
The how-to is posted under DURATEC MAINTENANCE, pinned at the top..

Me too.
BTW, what other cars (if any) do you have? This is also the fanciest (and fun) car I've ever had.
