Thoughts on buying a 2000 SE

Hi guys,

My Spec V hasn't been doing it for me lately so I was considering a 2000 SE. The car is a 5 speed and is pretty much loaded with 53 K miles.

Just wondering about common problems, common repairs etc.

Just looking for a comfortble daily driver that's got a decent but of oomph. This is pretty much at the limit of what I can afford.

thoughts?

Alright, seems like Coil packs, MAF's and paint.

Fairly minor. Is routine maintenance fairly simple?? (ie. swapping plugs?)

What's a typical 1/4 mile time for one?

thanks.

Probably mid 15's. A y-pipe, GAB-OSCAI, a good driver, and you should be hi 14's.
