good deal (for you). bought my '00 v6 pretty fully loaded (leather, power everything, mp3 cd). for 1200 from a dealer my friend worked at. it had 140,000 at the time
Although, if i was in the market, I would have offered about 800 for barebones model, but would have paid your price if you didn't budge for the 5speed model loaded or not. it's actually got better 0-60 time (if properly driven) than the v6 model and responds to boost much better!
