fill it up with gas, check the oil, and learn to spell "boy".

These motors ARE NOT that fragile guys.

Yep, and check the coolant level too. Overheating (even a mild overheat) is something you'll never want to experience.

Read the 'sticky' thread at the top of the forum. It's labeled "FAQ for 3rd Gen and Useful Links."


Many people have asked similar questions to yours, and there have been some very helpful replies. Instead of waiting for people to reply to your redundant question, you can find the answer yourself.


If you're not capable of doing your own research, you might want to think twice about owning such a maintenance-intensive car.

seriously, i drove 6 for mine. But hey good luck. If it runs good, idles good, has good oil pressure, and doesnt' over heat those are all good signs. Also might want to have a mechanic check it out.

bring some water, so if the add coolant buzzer light comes on, you don't have to urinate in it.
