BS!!! You spending $500 is maybe gonna get you +-10hp to my stock hp, and I'll have still have more low end torque, you ain't blowin the doors off **** lol.

I didn't fvck up, I chose get the 2.8 With all the mods you can put on a 1.8 plus cost of maintenance if I spend 5 grand on a SC I'll still save more money than you. The only reason I told him to get the 1.8 is because its clearly the better deal. I'll take a V6 over a 4banger anyday. To each his own.

 

so...? lol

 

The "electrical issues" most ppl talk about are usually related to faulty sensors. I'ts really not that big of a deal. Show me which car from any maker that doesn't have some sort "electrical issue".

 

That is true. How much would these so called sensors cost to replace? and They also mentioned how 98 wasnt that great of a year to buy, because thats when they were switching the looks and stuff around so its a little old and new technology.

 

yeah, well THEY don't know what the **** there talking about. the cruise controle issue is probably just the switch is dirty, I've had the same crap and alittle cleaner fixed it up fine. 98 is a great year. newer motor. better styling, can't realy go wrong.

 

I really can't give you a price off the top of my head, but they all aren't that expensive. I got a 98.5 and no problems with it. As for as technology there wasn't anything drastically new over the b5 model years. However, if I remember correctly 99.5+ was when they started using the nonmechanical throttle (drive-by-wire), I'm probably totally wrong about that though. And the 1.8Thp was bumped up to 170hp, or was it 00+. Now I'm confusing myself. Bottom line is all b5s are basically the same except for cosmetics.

 

Ok, but is 100000+ miles too much?

 

Mine has 115K and still going strong. If I take care of it like the previous owner did I'll be able to put another 75k on without any major fvckups, but I'll be getting a b6 in a year or two.
