As usual, Jeff speaks the truth. The trouble is you don't now how the previous owner drove the car. I guess I drove ours enough to properly exercise it. It is very easy to get a ticket in one. 40 MPH seems like 20, 85 seems like 60.

The trans is a thing of excellent engineering. The drive-by-wire throttle that came to be in 2000, not so much. With a little effort I could mesh gears so as a passenger thought it was an automatic, upshifting or down. But there no 'feel' to the pedal. It's all muscle memory to drive these really well.

I had no problems with the shift ass'y.

The ignition switch tends to seize making it very hard to turn. Brake pedal switches fail. Sometimes the computer gets a hiccup and the window drop when operating the door stops working correctly. There will be these little things that can add up biggly ir you don't do any of your own work.

Durametrics ought to be cheap by now. I have one good for 3 VIN's with one used. I haven't used it in 15 years since the AOS deal.
