i actually think im going to buy one and then sell it right away where i live (Canada). The price difference is alot. I just want something that is appealing to other people and will hold up for a 1200 mile drive. Then i save up for a S for myself.

If the 97-99 make it past the 20-30 miles and there is no sign of an oil leak, are the engines reliable? Will they last a while. That is my worst fear, buy one and have to put a new engine in. I dont have problems with replacing the ignition switch, O2 sensors or mass air fuel sensors or any suspension/brake component myself.
