I was considering buying a 93 EV MV, 105K miles, auto transmission,
but after cruising this
and other lists I am not so sure now.  Here are some of the complaints
that are making me
think twice about it:

- expensive and hard to find tires
- weak head gaskets, leaky heads (?)
- oil filter difficult to change
- difficult coolant change
- engine mount problems in automatics
- defective series resistors
- piston slap when cold
- fuel and temp gauges malfunction
- paint and rust problems at body panel seams
- very expensive catalytic converter
- gas and brake pedals too small and too close
- very expensive A/C repairs
- problems with power locks and windows
- poor headlights (low beam)
- electrical problems
- loose hubcaps (?)
- frequent fuel pump replacements
- weird or intermittent heating vent operation
- squeaky blower motors
- less reliable than Vanagons (?)
- in general, very expensive parts and labor
- ..... others, anyone ?

Are these accurate?  Any good news?  I test drove this EV for almost 1
hour and liked it, but
the last thing I need is to fork over $$$ just to spend every weekend
fixing things.   TIA for
any responses.

Neil
