I would get the 99 just based on the tranny history. Put the $500 toward mods.

does he care for the .5 or so seconds the 1999 take over the 2000 to accelerate from 0 to 100kph ? does he care for the transmission, and for the gauge fonts (writing)? Also i think the 2000+ do better gaz mileage cuz of the 5th gear...

but if i were him id get the 1999... only cuz of the tranny problems.

KM?! Use real numbers like a man you Commi!

Anywho I would get then 99, but thats because I have a 99 and am afraid of those tranny problems even though they do have them at times.

2000 why not go with the newer one. I havent had any tranny probs. And its never been replaced. The service manager told me that at 150,000 miles theyll replace the tranny. No worries.
