It’s not a bad choice for a DIYer who prefers older cars, but I generally would not recommend a 20 year old car as a daily driver to a normal person unless it is a really goodj deal and the person has a convenient, honest, local independent shop to depend on.

I know. I received some good private messages as well showing me the pros and cons of this thing. I just don’t think I’m cut out for the grind of things failing. It’s a great car for someone handy which I am really not under the hood

In my opinion it's pricey gamble on an older vehicle.

I know- I’ve now re-examined and the seller understands I need to back out.

With two young children I’m responsible for- I need something newer that will not be in the shop as this needs to be my primary car.

Consider the dream on hold. Thank you all for your ideas.
