i bought mine a year ago and it had some issues, but i fixed them up front with the money i made from selling my 1996 GT.
since then, i have very few problems, a couple of nagging things i haven't gotten around to fixing, but the car runs great and i am very happy with it. it is my daily driver (about 15,000 miles per year) and it has never died on me.
then again, i drive it gently for the most part, and i make sure the preventative maintenance stuff is done religiously.
i'll be installing a turbo this summer, hopefully by the end of june.
ps - the bickering gets old after a while.
