yes - but we are unsure of what problems these cars usually have and how much it costs to do repairs

Accepted Answer

Okay. These vehicles are pretty good. The most common problems have to due with the timing belts and with overheating. If you keep the cooling system clean and keep the timing belt and water pump changed then you should be fine. A tune up on this vehicle will generally cost about $350-400. The timing belt with the water pump will normally cost about $500-600. These prices are for parts and labor. If you need more help let me know.
