They're decent cars. Note that this vehicle is 13 years old with over 100k miles, so some things will be worn out and some will break. I wouldn't pay more than $4500.

My wife's been driving her 2006 2.3L for over 200K miles. No major problems. Had a front wheel bearing replaced. A gasket on the oil heat exchanger was seeping but I fixed that myself. Other than normal replacement items (battery, tires, wiper blades, etc), no problems.
