Crapper! That makes me sick to my stomach to read considering that I'm in the process of buying a '99 for $12K right now. In reality though, I didn't buy this car for resale and I'd be happy to drive it 'til it was useless (and/or modified beyond all recognition) and then park it in the trader for the first $4000. The thing is, although it's an unwanted car to dealers and an unknown car to the general public, it's a damn fun car and a freaking bargain when you look at the content/dollar ratio. Of course I can say that 'cause my car payments just dropped like a rock (from a $30K Maxima to a $12K Contour) and I'm as happy as a pig in chit. My plan is to autocross it until all of the wheels fall off. I may never sell the car.
