Mine was a 96 and right around 105k it started acting up - by the time I traded it in around 115k it was absolutely terrible.

Are there any other known issues besides the tranny? He is looking to sell his car in a few months and I have thought about buying it from him. I have been carless for over 3+ years so it seems like a logical first car.
