...wait, im just naming all the problems my sc has lol, but most SC's have these problems
also.. killer trunk lid

90% of sc's I see the trunk shocks don't work.

If you are getting stuff out of your trunk and you think your lid will stay up, chances are the lid will come down and smack you in the head.

Of course a lot depends on the mileage and previous level of maintenance, but let's not forget worn control arm bushings, leaking distributor O-ring, and an oil saturated alternator.

Can't forget about those worn door hinges...particularly the driver's side.

I'm not quite sure how common this problem is with other sc's, but my front and rear seals were bad and according to my dad is was fairly expensive to fix, luckily he was there to pay for it
