[QUOTE=linklaw;333468]I think you got a good deal. Even if you put a couple grand into it for an IMSB upgrade, in my opinion you are still ahead of the game. Where else are you going to have so much fun for the price of a 4 year old minivan?[/QUOTE

Well put! Iam in this same situation. Purchased a 99 for a little over 11k. I loved this car and I am going to sink 5k into it before I even put 500mi on it. But I will have a completely new suspension, new battery, rotors, pads, tires, clutch, imsb, rms, wheel bearings & cv boots. If I purchased a 16k mid 2000's one, I would still be faced with the same upcoming repairs. Like JD said, it's all about having fun driving these vehicles.
