I have a 94 TX5 Ghia V6 manual.
It is a fantastic car.
I bought it with 790000 kms on it in 2003 and I have just hit 102000.
I got the timing belt done on it whenI first got the car.
In that service the mechanic changed the oil/filter, timing belt, lubed and reconed the cv boots all for $490.

He was an honest guy too. When I first booked it in and told him what needed to be done, he rattledoff a list of other things that may need to be done because they had to be taken off to get to the timing belt anyway, he originally said it would cost about $900 to do all the work, but when I picked it up he said that all of the other things did not need doing and it only cost $490.

Yes it does guzzle fuel in a sense. I get about 430kms out of a tank (55lt) before the fuel light comes on and can probably streach that out to about 460-470kms. I also only try to use BP Ultimate fuel.
