Buy what you like who cares what people say..just be advised a lot of the extra "features" people talk up with the 2nd gens tend to fail over time..sure they were great when new but now 15-16 years later most of them have become known problems..so just be aware of that when looking for a 2nd gen and find one that hasn't been abused and has been taken care of and maintained.

I'll let you all know. I'm going to look at the '97 probably next Thurs or Friday.

Here is the car I looked at yesterday, it has 133k on the clock and the dude wants no less than $2250. It's not in GREAT shape but it's not too bad. Only thing that bugs me is the CE light is on and it misfires. I tried hooking up my code reader but it wouldn't connect? I'm not afraid of doing small stuff like plugs, etc. But I hope it doesn't have 10 codes stored for all sorts of crap. I'm pretty mechanically inclined but I don't want to put a lot of money into it. Dude said he would take it to advance auto or into a shop and get the printout for me. We'll see.
P.S. He's including a coil over conversion kit (he hasn't installed it), the amp and subs, and also a spare set of brake pads.

That sounds like a fair deal, all depends on what the codes are for though.
