Hope to learn a lot from all of you Ill be doing alot of reading of past posts since I just purchased a 98 2.5TL w/79,000mi its black with tan interior

 

Welcome

I have a '97 3.2 TL in black w/ tan leather. Its a great combo.

 

Yep that's nice and low miles. You got the best car you'll ever own.

 

Good find. Check up on the emissions stuff yet? How nice is the leather? What's the price you paid? I'm the curious one around here

 

<--- Has black with GREY leather....not too shabby either.

 

Like Mike said, you just bought a car that will last forever if you take good care of it. Low miles too. I just passed 70k in my 98. Driving back and forth to school kills my mileage, but Im keeping it forever so its not like its gonna affect my resale value lol. Browse often and post often! Welcome aboard

 

ahhh a native Texan! We had a Texan member but the guy just sold his car a few weeks ago. He was also in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. His alias on here is "oulaw"?

 

this is a great forum! i'm semi-quasi-pseudo new as well. been several weeks, but this place rocks! WELCOME! hope you enjoy it and find it as appealing to visit here on a daily basis as i have.

 

p.s. - i too have same combo but mine's a 96.

 

Well let me welcome you with this smilie...



But really... WELCOME TO THE 1st GEN Side of the forum... hope you learn as much as I... everyone here is great... understanding... and most of all friendly... glad to see another member with a 98 2.5... about Insanepyro's post... about the emissions thing... Sad but true... we aren't covered by it... since it only consist of 95 to 97... 98 is left out in the cold on that one...

You can make sure your CV joints have been replaced by the recall... other then that... you should be ok for another 100,000 miles to change your timeing belt... i know because i'm at 172,000 on my 98 2.5 (Pearl White w/ Tan BTW) and still haven't changed it... i'll have to fix it before i change it though... had a bit of a misshap... guess you know who's the member that types alot... anyways i'm rambling on etc...

Congratz on your buy... and Welcome to the Forum...

 

ah.. always good to see a new member to our small first gen community!!! welcome

 

Welcome to the forum! Hope you stay. Some how, a lot of new peeps just leave once they get their problem fixed.

 

wont be low miles for long this car will be my daily driver it will at least get 100mi a day (thats if I just go to work and straight home)

 

no emissions stuff yet, leather is in good shape, $5,700

 

Ill stay I dont plan on getting rid of the car any time soon
