I think the 2.5 L engine generally had more problems with it so I'd keep looking for a 2.7L if you want a base car. Anything in the 85k and up miles will likely be in need of a lot of service if it hasn't already been done. Lots of suspension things, motor mount, water pump, etc.. all wear out at about this time or should be replaced preventatively if you're so inclined. If you're looking at a car with no records you have no idea what you may need to tackle right off the bat. A good PPI will let you know some of this but not all. A history with records is such a blessing with these cars.
