Otherwise they are pretty solid cars. You need to find one that has been maintained.

Figured parts would be a bit of a premium since the brand...

So timing and other engine problems gotcha! :(

Truck is killing me on mileage, looking for a "luxury" car with awd capabilities, but gets a decent return on MPG. These seemed to fit the bill to an extent.
