The engine and other car parts are in great condition. Even though there are currently a few issues with car, their mostly minor cosmetic issues.

This is always a tough, near impossible, thing to predict. Especially without looking at the vehicle.

The reliability of these vehicles is very high so if maintained properly then I would expect for it to last quite a while.

However, if you are concerned with this, don't wait for something to go wrong. Start putting some money away now so that if something happens, you are not in a tough position. I would suggest trying to get it upwards of $4,000.00 to $5,000.00. This way it will cover the largest repairs like an engine or transmission.

Then if some repair happens and it is only $500.00 you have the money to pay for it and then over the next few months, replenish that amount back to the level you feel comfortable with.

Hope this helps. Thanks
