They are great little cars indeed. With nearly 230,000 miles on it, I'd say you got your money's worth out of yours. On my last trip out to LA, we sold my wife's '95 SC-2 coupe on Craigslist. My wife (and eventually a mechanic) said it needed some transmission work, but I never could get the problem to show up when I drove it. It only had about 133,000 miles on it and still ran strong when we sold it (with full disclosure about the tranny) to a young guy with a family who was looking for an inexpensive commuter vehicle.
