Good luck with your car. I think you'll find it far more capable than being a beater and with only 162K on it, it's a baby considering these cars will easily reach 300K+ without a problem. I have a 96 with 200K on it. I bought it five years ago with 38K on it, so most of those miles have been put on by me. Outside of a fuel pump failure, all I've had to do is basic maintenance.
