In the fall of 1997 I custom ordered a 98 Mystique because of two reasons: It had good reviews and it was built in the USA. I made it clear to the dealer that I would refuse delivery if it showed up on the lot with a "Made in Mexico" sticker on the window. It was made in KC.

Mine has 110,xxx miles, very few problems - no major ones and I fixed most of the others myself with tips and ideas gleaned from reading the CEG forums. I'll probably hang onto it for another 3-4 years.
