Hi there, recently saw this beautiful car and looking to buy one now, but couldn’t find any good ones online. Can you give any tips and tricks, approximately maintenance cost, major problems and is it even worth it to have one right now?

Tips tricks as far as finding one? Just gotta keep scanning on a regular basis, might take a while, might get lucky. Maint.cost depends on how well it was maintained, generally they are very solid cars when not neglected or abused. They generally don't have major problems on decent mileage finds. It's worth it to have one now yes have you seen gas prices? I mean these are V8 engines albeit they do pretty well for mpg for what it is all things considered they are not delicate little 4 cylinders, you can put a lot of miles on these cars. The good thing is a lot of people undervalue these cars for whatever reason and you can find a heck of a deal being patient. These are fine engineered machines, the one gripe might be the transmission, I mean its solid a very good medium duty transmission it just gets lost between gears sometimes, it's just they way they are being perfectly honest, it's not triptronic but you can still downshift and keep it out of higher gears and have fun with it. I've gotten very used to mine it took a little while for me to understand its mannerisms so i enjoy it,
