yeah they have there problems here and there but all cars do, one of the biggest ones is the heat failure on the distributors but theres a easy cheap fix for that. 2000 sounds a little much unless its super clean. also one thing you have to realize is that because the shifter has a lot of play in it its probably been like that for awhile and when you leave it like that it will wear the blocker rings in the trans very quickly so somewhere down the road you could have a grinding problem or it just wont go into gear.
