I bought my 00 base for $5200 with < 70k miles and it was always garaged. But, was driven in the snow.

I paid 3600 for the one i have now, asking 4k due to a bunch of stuff fixed. looking back i shouldnt have paid more than 2500 for it, live and learn. Anyway i plan on taking a jack and work light with me when i go look at it, the owner says it is a clean us title. the owner before the one that listed it was military, so i assume its been in the states for a little while. Good NA's are hard to find around here, my source for parts says its about a 4500-5000 car with a new top as long as it isnt rust i should say.

What about buying from out West/South and shipping? I paid $650 to have my car shipped from LA to my house and they were here in 2-1/2 days.

Maybe a member can go do the inspection for you.

this one is a 30-45 minute drive, at a decent price. with more features than i actually wanted, dont really care for the abs on these cars. if this is not the car for me then that is the plan.

one way to find out I would think you would throw an O2 error.

I hollowed out my cat on my '96 and drove it for years with no CEL coming on.
