Eh, I'll be fine, I had school 9:00-3:30 today and well we are building a modular home (I'm in a job training program, for construction) and we are drywalling right now and its a PITA. But we do get tomorrow off.  Might go to the junkyard and look for a few things I could use for the Stique...BTW Christina that is a great place to find stuff for your car, is the junkyard, got me a spoiler with a trunk lid attached for $100 off a 99 Mystique LS, was in near perfect shape too.

Drywall sucks! It's sooo heavy, and you have to be careful with it, to boot.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong......but I believe that the V6s built before January of 98 are highly prone to waterpump failure. Of course, by 115k, its likely that this has already happened and already been dealt with by the previous owner but its still something to watch out for.
My waterpump went at 60k without warning. There was no leaking, no noise, no symptoms whatsoever until she started to overheat.
If your car was built after January of 98 (IIRC ) it will probably be OK where waterpumps are concerned.

We are way past that point, we are spreading mud now (almost done), thats a real royal PITA. Sanding it is the worst part, wears you out. 
Bad thing is we still got a sh!t load to do to the house yet and there is just under 3 months of school left.

Nice car. You will like it. I really love that color. If it has had even reasonable care, it should last a long time. You will find a lot of support here for it's care and maintenance as well as should you run into some problems. CEG is one of the best car communities in cyberspace.
