98 se
5 speed
162k and still runs great
original clutch (how long will it last?)
3rd water pump
replaced 2 oxy sensors
imrc
plug wires
brake pads once
oil pan gasket (but it still leaks from the timing cover)
many tires
many alignments
tie rod ends
plugs once
a/c does not work
check engine light is on (bank 1 lean, waiting for it to tell me which o2 sensor to change)

Great car overall
my bigest gripe is tire wear.
