I bought this vehicle with 82,000 miles, and I paid around $8,200.00. The car is fun to drive since have a dual transmission (Auto and Manual mode). Since I like to be on top of the regular maintenance, it was when I discovered that it was low in oil. I keep monitoring the situation and I have to add a quart of oil every week. I decided that I have to replace the engine since the car is neat in the inside and outside. I paid 1200.00 dollars for an engine with 7,000 miles and my mechanic charged me the same thing, so at the end between one thing and other I expend almost 3K but it was worth it because the car is perfect for college students. So far it's running like brand new, the total mileage on this new engine now is 15,000. Here is my hint for rookies... Do the regular maintenance on your car and you will be ok.
