From what I'm seeing around here I'm kind of getting that impression. I'm thinking about buying an older 95 or 96 GP with the 3100 in it because they're pretty cheap on Craigslist and I just kind of want a cheap car from now until I graduate in a couple years. I don't mind doing work on it every once and a while and would expect to on an older car but I don't want to buy something that is going to be a constant headache.

Which brings me back to my original question, are these engines **** or should I be okay on one that has 140-150k miles?
