Nutty, I kinda disagree with alot of the advice being given on here. One, your looking at a 2.5 liter car which if you search enough you will find that it is not prone to D-chunk failures. Another thing that car has going for it is the fact that it should have a dual row IMS. Those are also not prone to failure. You are looking at a running and driving car for 4k. You can find parts cars non-running for about 3k. If it is in good shape and passes a thorough PPI and the mechanic gives it a clean bill of health then I don't see why not. It is not a huge initial investment and if you are willing to do the standard maintenance yourself then you will be fine. If you experience a catastrophic failure then yes, you are out a car that you will have to sell for parts.. Any cheap used car has this potential.
