Thanks again, everyone!
When I went to pick it up the other day, it turned out it had been sitting for two and a half months and the shop that was supposed to take care of it never once started it up. So something went bad with the ignition, but the seller is going to fix it for me, luckily.

Forgot all about this forum....
Well, I've had the car for a little over a week now. It's definitely perfect for me.
Had an oil leak, which is now fixed. Pretty much everything is in working order, except the AC, radio, and horn. The AC is completely removed, so I at least know what to do for that.
But as for the horn and radio, I have no idea what needs replacing. I do at least know that it's not the speakers, because the screen on the radio won't even work. So it's either the radio itself or the wiring. The horn, though, could be absolutely anything. Do any of you have any ideas on how I could test these to see what's wrong?
Also, if there's a nice tutorial for installing a whole AC system in the 2.3, that would be nice.
Oh, and what's the average top speed on these? I want to find out if my speedometer is accurate, and there's no radar sign thing nearby, and since I have no clock I can't time myself doing a mile at 60. So the next best thing is to take it on the freeway and put the pedal to the metal. :P

Car's been sitting in the shop for more than a week. It got a leak in the power steering, and the hose was impossible to remove on my own, so I took it to the shop and they did it for like ten bucks. Not bad. But then it wouldn't start. There's a short circuit somewhere. They're trying to find it so they'll only need to fix the actual problem and I won't be overcharged (I know, this doesn't sound like a real mechanic... But that's why I love them. They're actually nice people.) but so far, nothing they've tested has had any problem.
