Default Thinking of buying 1999 Millenia S, advice anyone?

Hello I am new here but have recently come across a 99 S with 140k miles. I'll be seeing the car this weekend but was hoping some of you here could give me any advice? The main question I have is should I even buy this car? It seems that many problems can occur with the S model. I have noticed from researching that they are mainly sensor and seal related, is that accurate? Owners/past owners and even non owners I'm looking to you to do your best to give me an unbiased opinion on these cars.


Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
C

Well, I am a non owner. Am I unbiased?
People who want something different than the standard grocery getter should take a look at Millenia models. The Miller cycle is different. On the other hand those who want to get by with the least amount of money and headaches should walk away. Since they are different mechanics may be stumped by them. It could also get rather expensive if you need to replace Millenia specific parts, in particular charger related parts.
