113K... now is about when it's going to need wheel bearings, tie rods, struts, plugs/wires, valve cover gaskets, rear heater tubes, water crossover gaskets, water pump, alternator and probably other common things I'm forgetting right now. Half of those things are a real bitch to change, and if someone offered one of those cars to me for free, I'd still have to think about it.

Get a Toyota!
EDIT: holy crap a waterpump and oil sending unit was $600?!?! I would avoid that thing like the plague.

The water pump actually isn't that expensive or hard to do, but it does require a special tool to remove it.

It's not uncommon for them to have tranny problems with some mileage also. Some of that normal wear & tear stuff (like wheel bearings) you could do yourself as needed and save some $$, but I'd definitely make sure the tranny checks out good. They are not cheap to rebuild, and many dealers can't even rebuild them right.

I bought a 1980 Corolla off my neighbor for $50, put $50 worth of timing belt in it and in about 2 hours and was off and running! That thing was awesome, 5-speed rear wheel drive, sipped gas but ran great! Man I miss that car, but I did turn a profit on it when I sold it for $350 + some "goods". Ah the good ole days.
