I bought mine a couple of years back and have spend more than the purchse value in maintenance. This was partially neglected maintenance, some unplanned failures (clutch fan, coolant pump) and ugrades (android head unit, hitch and a set of winter wheels)

is it good value... not sure. But I love driving the car, I feel it has more character than newer cars with double the price tag, and since I mainly use it in the winter and for hauling stuff, I don't mind filling it up with all sorts of junk. Also the wife loves it now so I can't get rid of it
