Electrical Gremlins:
As with many vehicles of this era, aging wiring harnesses, corroded connectors, and failing relays can lead to intermittent electrical problems.
Suspension Wear:
Bushings, ball joints, and struts are subject to wear over time, leading to poor handling and ride quality.
Rust And Corrosion:
Concerns common to vehicles of this vintage, particularly in areas with road salt. Check wheel wells, rocker panels, and underbody.
