    Unhappy

    hehe, we see those cars in all the time. here's some common problems on them as they come to my mind, he already mentioned some of the coolant leaks, power steering hoses leak, window regulators, another common coolant leak is the thermostat housing, the o2 sensors list out at $175 a piece times 4 recommended replacement is at 100k service, thrust arms, the bearings in the idler/tensioner pulley's go out a lot then the belt cracks the plastic tank on the radiator etc etc, and valve cover gaskets are common too. get more information about the ac/heat issue it has, and don't be surprised if the brake linings light is on, that's the orange circle LOL good luck
