The OT place for OGs to BS w/o BS.

as long as all the common issues have already been taken care of it's as cheap, easy, worry-free as any honda.

Need to be fixed from the factory:
-plastic engine fan tends to shatter and destroy lots of stuff in the engine bay. Remove the fan (there is a secondary) or replace it with an electric fan on the rad.
-plastic waterpump/housing needs to be updated to the aluminum ones.
-plastic radiator end tanks crack and leak. Most replace with an all alum. one. Not necesary, but is a good idea.
-upper rear shock mounts need to be reinforced (simple bolt on shock mount)
-rear swaybar mounts break sometimes. (another easy fix) There are others like this, but these are the major ones unless you're heavily tracking or doing donuts constantly.
-o2 sensors fail as often as on any german/modern car. 95's have 1 instead of 4. Yet another reason 95s>the rest
-VANOS unit will have to be rebuilt/replaced every 80k-150k miles depending on how much they are wearing. They start making noise and sound like a diesel, but don't really cause issues beyond noise.
Most of these issues have already been taken care of on most used ones you will find.

oil changes every 3k-6k miles with roughly 8 qts. mileage between 20-30mpg. No other real costs in normal use. If you do have to replace something parts are a bit more expensive than hondas, but for the most part still reasonable and sometimes cheaper.

That's what I was thinking, wasn't even worth my time bidding on it since I'm so busy counting all of my money and sprinkling diamonds everywhere.

you should come by this weekend. I'm having my garage floor tiled with $100 bills and then a solid piece of Swarovski Crystal laid on top of it to encase it. It's gonna be tits.
