The only thing that hasn't been replaced on this car is the oil pump. He has replaced intake gaskets, all the hoses under the manifold and replaced all the injectors. He sent me the records, so I'm pretty comfortable with what's been done. It's got a new timing chain, guides and water pump; and he's replaced the starter relay. It wouldn't bother me to take a 3 or 4 hour road trip in this car and have confidence it would get there and back. The only thing that's not mentioned is the oil pump. This seems to be the weak point on these cars and since I know what happens when one locks up, that's the only thing that bothers me about this car. I'm going to have to find out what it will cost to put a new one in.
