Sounds like a great $700 car-- at that rate you could hang a cat-back exhaust (~$250) and a new coolant temp sensor ($40) and intake manifold gasket and spend a weekend at pick-and-pulls getting parts and another weekend installing them (front turn lens, the headlight relay, tailgate latch assembly, intermittent wiper relay, rt rear window regulator and hubcaps-- $100-200 for everything at a good pick-and-pull).

Do you have safety and emissions tests where you are? That can add unexpected expense-- ball joints, tie rod ends, brakes, etc., or an 02 sensor or cat...

Does the AC work?

At 197K miles, I'd want to see it up on a lift. I've had my share of surprises with my 210K mi '92-- I'm in the rust belt and although the body is good, the hard lines on the power steering, the brake backing plates and the oil pan all rusted out.

Good luck!
