I bought a used 95 about 1.5 years ago. Had 82K on it. I just assumed there was going to be stuff that had to be fixed especially during the first year. I budgeted $1000 for repairs in first year...ended up spending exactly that...but only by putting off $225 of brake work for about 6 mo.

Mine is only a 4 cyl GL (mtx though smile ) but I like it so much I am trying to buy another as this one has been promised to my Daughter as a graduation/birthday present. She likes the car a lot too.

I don't know how much fun yours will be though, since it is an atx... :p
