| Look down around the firewall for any wetness from the OEM valve cover seals leaking. $500 cost at minimum. Get under the car and look at the notch where the trans mates with the engine. Wetness will indicate the rear main seal and at least $1000 cost to replace. Expect to drop $3k into it for maintenance at a minimum just due to age. Clutch, injectors and seals will eat this up pretty fast. These cars are pretty well engineered, but rubber will start to fail after years.
