Unfortunate but true. Forum wisdom says go with Powerbond or ATI.

Unless it's a dealer like Carmax that can include a warranty.

The problem is, because a car like that would be a "deal", they don't last long.

Seriously, if you like the car and that's the only issue, and you have a good mechanic that you trust, it may be worth it. A 20 year-old car with low miles and a reasonable price is a tough find.
