thanks guys for your replies, so i was going through the cars folder of repairs and im curious... is it typical for a 99 to have had the following repairs, front struts replaced, air conditioning unit replaced, the altenator was replaced at about 70,000, im happy that these things were replaced and the previos owner spent almost 3 grand in the past 25 thousand miles (60k sevice,new tires, altenator and more) but at such a low miles?

Everyone just read your owners manual in regards to the gas...... the AC failing at that mileage is a bit unusual, so is the struts, hell the alt. is too. some tech probably took him or her for a proverbial ride.

+1 Nowhere in the owner's manual does it specify that you actually need to run premium fuel.

I have to agree that some of the repairs are way premature, but you got alot of new components on a very well maintained car. I suspect the previous owner was probably taken advantage of. Very sad but happens too often.

Creator: Sounds like a great deal to me. You don't really know how the previous (3) owners have treated it, but if it appears to be in good shape and you have done a thorough inspection, than I would definately jump on it.

Things to consider:
-Oil Change w/New Filter (Use Mobil 1 Synthetic, Lasts 5k miles)
-New Timing Belt
-Premium Gas is always better off, but not required
