First post here. Going to go get a silver 98 SVT today - only 28K miles. Yes, odd, I know but Carfax backs it up.
I wanted a 99, but these suckers are so hard to find, and this one had such low miles - couldn't pass it up.
The existence of this board definately helped sway me towards this car (vs. the viable alternatives: Jetta, Integra, etc.)
This is s'posed to be a simple, daily driver. Wife says "No Mods!!". I tend to turn cars into projects :rolleyes: . That Y Pipe mod looks so easy and beneficial though - I don't think I can resist.

$14K for 28K. I got an extended service contract with it though. I'm pretty happy with the deal.
I've been looking around for about 3 months and this is the first low miles SVT to come up for sale in my area.

00' w/ 7k on the clock, kinda weird, eh? Seeing as the car has been on the road for 2 years, oh well I'm not complaining, just put another 1,000 on it this month [first month, love to drive it  ]. Great cars, great choice!
