Yeah, a '96 I bought 2nd-hand 4 years ago to keep me mobile until the kids left home & I could put money toward something decent, rather than their bottomless stomachs and designer label clothes they just couldn't exist without.
It'd done > 380k km's and had nearly no maintenance (though I looked after it a bit better than the previous owner.)
By died, it still runs... but I'm picking that metal-on-metal grinding noises from inside the cam-belt cover area is not a good sign. (I could get it fixed, but don't tell the wife that. It was the excuse I needed to order the 86!)
