3.1 is a pretty damn good/dependable engine. Besides the lower intake manifold issue but that isn't that bad of a job. Very nice. I just bought another beater since my friend refused to sell me back my Achieva
.
Thats ok though, cause my new ride is newer and has a power moonroof, tan leather interior, 6 cd changer in the trunk, keyless entry, every power option and 200+ horse 24 valve dohc V6 and weights around 3300lbs. Not bad for $455.00 (but I have to put 225 into it right off the bat)
