I will suggest something different too, lol. Get a 97 with relatively high miles (like 100 thousand), do a 3.4 or 3.6 swap, put a pss9 suspension on, and paint your brakes red. Now thats hard not to consider. The high miles dont matter as much when you replace the engine and suspension.

I never considered an S and therefore never took one for a test spin. I'm sure the S does everything better (except for gas mileage) and is more fun to drive. However, for me, having never driven one eliminates any feelings of regret for buying a base. I'm more than happy with my decision.

This seems like a good combination.
