dude, mine was built 2/99 and has 48k miles on it already. 2 weeks after I bought it, I took it in the dealer for 45k service (this is before i found out about the RMS issue and right after i sign up to this forum) and to my surprise, the service manager told me that my engine has been replaced already by previous owner. So far the only issue that i run into just last week was MAF and it's been replaced under warranty....
To sum it all up, either just go for it or get a PPI before you sign anything and if it turns out good, buy it and just make sure you get a very good ext. warranty @ warrantydirect.com so you could sleep better at night, save at least $2k for maintanance service or "just walk away from it if you are worry this much and don't even own the car yet"
