Message	20 year old, non-rebuilt cars with 275k+ miles that have poor maintenance aren't reliable. (unless you're counting "reliably problematic") Repairs on these cars, TT *or NA are outrageous. Heater core? remove the dash Sensitive electronics? Cash Cannon fodder Tires? not cheap Injectors failing? you betcha! (Reload Cash Cannon) Automatic trans giving out? (READ: Cash Cannon) etc, etc. Although you can totally roll one, as ttz'in points out, it'd be a gas & go til it blows type of deal. You can really find a much lower mileage, better condition Z for ~ the same price. Hell, double the price, take off 100k+ miles and you have cheap TT. Look around, you'll find a much better NA than that. ;-)
