: I'm thinking about buying a 1972 2002 w/ duel 40s. Im going to be heading off to college next year.Do '02's require too much attention for a diligent student?... I know you guys are'02 nuts but please be realistic.

: Thanks.

As an extension of Cameron's post, the trick is to have the car properly set up before you go to college. If an '02 is well prepared initially, it then becomes a matter of routine maintenance (oil changes and tune-ups) and the car can be very reliable.

Buy a good, solid car (have it checked out by someone knowledgable before you buy) and then be willing to fix anything that may have been neglected plus do certain pre-emptive maintenance items (such as rebuilding the rear hubs). Then have a blast with confidence that the car will hold up as well as it is treated.
