well the one im looking at is a 2005 and its 8,000 and thats pushing it for me. With the way my money is right now I cant have a car thats too expensive. But i dont know im very picky with cars and stuff. I did want a svt focus but one in my range has wayyyyyy too many miles, I like the newer hondas but once again out of my price range. I also like the new focus but there 17,000 with 32k on them. Plus ive always wanted a s197

well i dont think you should sail your car because that wouldnt go too good IMO, but what do you like best about them?
V6's are for the lame.
SVT Focus' with decent miles run around $5k around here.

or you could buy my SRT4 for $8k...........................

i mean yeah its a v6, but i know this sounds silly but if i get a v6 then it will not give me motivation to mod it. I know for a fact that if i get a GT i will be doing every MOD to it and ill never want to drive it.
ehhhh im leery about neons but definitively wouldnt mind one at all, nice cars!

IMO, the 4.0 v6 in the s197 wont net you any better MPG than you get now...

oh it will.... lol
You'll want to mod the V6 because it will be slower, the MPG benefit will not be much, and for $8k, I'm guessing it's either a low option car or high miles. If you're set on a V6 car, why not just get like a 03-04 V6? Probably be half the price and less to learn as the car will be pretty much the same as the 95 and Cobra

actually the car is very nice IMO i was surprised when i saw it. and it has 117k, most ive seen for that price have like 150k. I wouldnt mind a new edge v6 but i have the cobra and i want a different body style thats all

LOL oh just want i want 
IMO you have to be a big person to drive an S197. I'm 6'3" and I fit just about right. If my girlfriend drives it she can barely see over the steering wheel but is fine in an sn95. The other complaint is the headrests that make you gangsta lean because they will otherwise push your head forward to the point your looking at your feet.
and everything is more expensive for them than an sn95.

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/cto/2998821620.html < Nice car for the price. I know it says rebuild title, but you hit a deer in the front and 1 fender its considered totaled in Ga., so thats not always a bad thing.
