Not bad with the hard top.

I bought a clear titled, 2 owner 98 with 117K miles in 2011 for $4,800. It had a bad rear window and top had quit going up/down. Owner told be AC would work most of the time, as did the stereo.

After changing all the fluids, filters and plugs (tubes and o-rings. too). I sourced a used top/frame for $400 and got the top going with a new (used) top relay. Also replaced motor mount.

The AC and stereo? Bad ignition switch.

I sold the car to a coworker and he's still enjoying it. In his 4 years of ownership, his only failure has been a fuel pump relay.

Enjoy the car! At the end of the day, you don't have big money in it and if it looks like you bit off more than you can chew, dump it!

Merry Christmas.
