My 95 is at 190K miles, the shocks are finally needing replacement the bushings are in surprisingly good shape.

Careful on the cooling system replacement, the writeups are about the M44 engine and our 95's are M42 and we don't have some of the same parts. Also there are some differences between early year and late year cars.

THe brakes are fine for daily driving. You can fade them since they are a solid rotor. But I find that takes some effort, especially if you buy good pads.

The ABS system is old, be VERY careful if you have to mess with the connectors under the fendors like when doing brakes etc, they break and are hard to diagnose to find the right bad sensor.
