I bought my 1998 3.0 Auto in October. I paid £850 for it. It had done 65,0000 miles. I am very glad i went for the 3.0. When you put your foot down i will gurantee you will smile. I would say, if you have time, try and wait for a good one at the right price. It took me 4 weeks to find mine. Then I had to travel nearly 300 miles to get it. Whats good about it - the performance, the build, the general feel of the car and the acceleration from 50-70. It pulls and pulls and pulls. Whats bad - the rust and the dodgy handling. (However, that has been improved quite significantly after being lowered at the front by 35mm) Quite a few people have asked me "Oh thats nice what is it?" One friend knew what it was without asking. Plus in nearly 3 months I have not seen another one on the road. Knowing what I know and having lived with the car for 3 months did I make the right decision and would i make the same decision - Yes. Except maybe I'd go for a slightly newer version even if it had more miles on the clock. The newer models seem to have more toys and the build quality is just a tad better. The only question i have for myself is why the bloody hell i didnt discover the honda coupe a few years earlier!!!!!!
