ya that price is canadian, but after picking up an auto trader i realised it is WAY overpriced. And this 97 has 112,000 kms on it, WAY too much for me. I found a 99 for $20,000, tons of done up 97-98's . Basically, I just have to sell the cougar, see what I get and start there, hope to tty all when I get a lude!

Ludes are great the one i got is really amazing its a 97 with 47k on it for 7300 it was a salvage title but the report i got it was only top dammage from a semi backing into its sidde
no frame damage. look around before u make ur first purchase. i guess thats kinda general but its allways nice to find super good deals on these cars

it breaks yur heart but it doesnt matter what kind of car it is they are all suspect to being in wrecks lol, heck, for the right price id take it just like my lude, i got it at an auction for that price..... I originally wanted an Si but all the ones there with MORE damage were going for 5K and up cause everyone and their MOTHERS want Si's, I am happy with the lude though cause driving it you do not get the "me too" syndrome where everyone else on the road has the same car, the only this people have told me is that the 99 and 00 Si's will last a lot longer than the 5th gen preludes with the same maintenance.... is this true or not?

did any of you guys with 5th gens notice that when you drive it regular (without flooring it) that its a little hesitant and jerky? not a lot but just an annoying amount........ mine does this but doesnt do it when I hammer it and I wanted to know if any of you noticed it cause I heard a couple other people who had noticed it.........

well, looks like there has been a change in plans, I want to go german for my next car. So right now I'm lookin at an Audi A4 or maybe a jetta/gold if I can't afford one.
