It is actually cheap to drive. I have owned it for 19 years. It had 40,000 miles on it when I bought it. No car payments on it since 1993
I threw away the carburetor and put on a TBI fuel injection many years ago. I put in a 200R4 transmission with lockup and a limited slip 3:08 rear end. With a heavy foot it gets over 17 MPG in town and 21 on the highway at 75 MPH. The engine is original and has 281,000 miles and still runs strong. It is no tire burner but it is dependable.
I bought lifetime guarantee parts from the beginning. Now my alternator, starter, brakes, water pump type of parts are free. I just replaced my alternator and it did not cost me a dime.
Insurance is cheap and I have a stated value policy.
