Yes, it has some issues and they will be addressed. The radio does work quite well at a comfortable volume, just cannot adust the volume. This is not a problem or me. At some poiny, I will probably replace the radio with one that has a cd player.
Control arms and motor mounts will be replaced as soon as my mechanic has time. I only drive about 5000-8000 miles a year on city streets, so this is not a big thing yet. the community I live in permits golf carts to be driven almost everywhere, so most of the time I am driving a golf cart.
I have driven the car about 200 miles and have not noticed any oil leaks or smells of burning oil.
I was not aware off the potential plugging of the heater core. I will have that checked, but here in Florida there is not often a need for a heater.

He was referring to the AC blowing cold air, not heat. The heater core is responsible for cold air and hot air in the cabin. So its a must to get that checked out.
