got it from a customer trade, lady bought it about 5 yrs agowith 30k or so and traded it in with 178k. It runs really well and starts up fine even at almost 0 degrees. The only thing ive noticed is that it tends to run pretty hot if you sit idling for more than a few minutes once it gets up to FOT. I checked the fan and it turns on and off when it should but I cant seem to find any other problems. What should I look for?

Also what are some typical "problem items" for V6 MX6's around this type of mileage?

99 % chances your thermostat needs replacement

a typical problem with a car with that many miles is everything

if that doesnt work maybe try flushing your radiator.

mine has 156k miles i needed new o2 sensors and motor mounts
