I'll try my best to find a mechanic in the area, though I don't know.

The carfax report turned out fine, while the car went in for service 3 times around 30k miles. I'll ask him.

$7500 for the 98.5, it has the aftermarket rims and springs, stereo, and an extra set of rims/tires (i'm thinking the stock rims and tires before he swapped those out?).. And if the car has any flaws I'm not aware of when I get there, the price'll probably be talked down, because I've heard these should be around $6000 maybe? Not too many miles for a 98 though

And about the comment saying I'll run into the same problems with mostly any car of this age, I totally agree. My brother seems to think I'll be overwhelmed with the poor gas mileage compared to a civic and how much I'll have to service it. But that's what comes with a car this fun isn't it? Maybe my brother's just turning me off because this car looks nicer than his
