Hi s_w,

I bought a '95 in January with 125K km, I don't think it was loved. I knew the timing belt had been done since there is a sticker on the engine. Since then I've had to replace; a lower control arm (dealer paid), the battery (dealer paid), seat heater (loose wire, dealer paid), recharge a/c (dealer paid) and oil changes. I think I'm due for some brake work and I'll need tires before the snow flies. Someone backed into a door last week so it'll be in for bodywork this week. All said, It's been a good experience so far.
I agree with Gerald, take care of the things he mentioned and deal with the rest as they come.

Good luck
