I was in search 1997-2001 and took me 2 years to find the right one! Finding a pristine, low miles 97-01 is indeed a rare bird, and is a real challenge to find. Once I found one, I found that the cars were sold before I could blink an eye. So I kind of gave up for awhile until I stumbled upon one by chance in Napa Valley and I moved super fast, put a deposit down. Good thing I did because I found out later that there were 2 guys right behind me from clear across the country waiting in the wings in case I backed out offering more money, and deposits in as well. Fortunatly the consignment dealer held to his word and honored my deposit, and I had the car 48 hours after making that deposit, and could not move fast enough once I found what I wanted. I like the bigger engine, flap up headlights, classic looks, and the fact that is was tough to find just made me want it more! Love my 98 and glad I was patient!
