You could be looking at 8-10K $$$ in the next 15,000 miles. Coolant flush alone is around $400, then serp belt, water pump, motor mounts maybe, brakes, 100K tune up, clutch and fly wheel? tires, alignment work is also $$$. after you spend the 10K or so, you will still have a car worth 12K MAX....do you love it enough? I did mine, so I speak from real experience. Do you love the 2.5 enough? Might try driving a 2.7 to be sure before you get into this car. Good luck.
