My mechanic has a '97, with 330k on it, and will deliver 19mpg on long hwy runs.... i.e from Minneapolis to Northern MN, or to his in-laws in Milwaukee.

Drivers door handle surround is cracked. and The main dash piece has a couple retainer clips missing. So if i can find some pull and save parts ill be golden.
I think they get good gas mileage considering the size and 4spd trans of the time, But fuel was never a concern. Ill use it or my old p/u to get back and forth to work and that is like 8 blocks. Then the random weekend fishing or trip to home depot. And having this will let me get to park the P/u and finally tear apart the front end and rebuilt it.
