that vintage is the best value out there-----the 5 speed is a better value than a 6 speed or automatic---my friends use the airbags to stop the rear from hopping down the interstate---it only needs a little pressure to achieve------it might be 1000 over value----dont think you will be able to fly somewhere out west fast enough to get it before the locals do-----on craigs the best deals are in texas and oklahoma----97-early 98 215 HP are the best ever made--there wont be anymore (late 98 is the 24 valve)good luck...
