Was the 7 grand because it was a 97 or just a problem car? Could the 2000 S have been a bad car with the same problems? In other words is the 2000+ design so superior that the maintenance costs will be drasticly less? I'm perfectly happy with a 99 from a power/performance perspective. When I want acceleration and speed, I hop on my Triumph TT600 which will outperform any car costing less than a 100 grand.

Buy the car you know you want and don't settle for anything less. Then those 5000 precious miles a year will be spent enjoying the right car instead of seeing the right car pass you or in a parking lot and wondering why you didn't wait to get what you wanted.
