These cars are also notorious for getting a clog in some filter on the intake, and building up back pressure and causing the engine to leak oil which then becomes expensive to fix at times.
Overall, unless your getting a really really exceptional deal, I'd pass on it.
or you if it wouldnt totally break you if you had to spend $40-$200 (or more, depending on your mechanic skills) at a time

i agree. even then, these cars do have some issues. their rear main seals are known for going out, as well as a few other things that i wont get into because i dont want to scare you away. if youre into the car and can afford to put some cash into it every now and then, id go for it. being able to do minor repairs will save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. remember, youre not dealing with a ford probe that was built in michigan.
what you are referring to is the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) system. you can have everything and replaced/cleaned in about 4-5 hours on your own.
