So no major work. Any records of doing a major (30k in the maintenance manual) service?

Do not make an assumption on the check engine light. Know the P-code and get it interpreted. You are dealing with a 20 year old car with all its hoses which can deteriorate over time.

What is the date on the sidewalls of the tires? New looking quality and new year are different.

There were engine problems with the '97s specific to the model year. Just be aware of them.

Re someone's else's comments re significant changes after the '99s, I didn't see them and I owned a '99 and a '01S. Loved em both.

I wouldn't buy this car. Too many unknowns and I can see $3k right off the bat. There are thousands for sale right now. You can do better.

I'd want to know the sellers motivation for selling. See some records of regular maintenance so you don't have to do it all yourself.
