It needed an new A/C assembly at 20,000 miles but the real issues began with poor performance due to fuel issues. ![]() It was a comfortable touring coupe with adequate performance and a penchant for eating plug ignition assemblies. The silver beauty was mine until a year ago and I put a mere 25,000 miles on it in that time.
