Worth getting 2001 model?

**stoff** · 17-12-2004 02:52 PM

are there many major improvements on the newer models over the older ones?
wondering if i should bother paying the extra 5g for a newer model..they seem to go for around 26-27g.

or just pay around 20g for a nicely kept 97-98 model?

As far as i know of the 2001 had a 5hp gain over the previous models, so i wouldnt be paying 5g more for one. as for astetics there the same

they both have the same spec... the diff is prob the kms

well, newer cars are usually in better condition

yeah, will take me a while to find a 97-98 in perfect condition around here im guessing..

i kinda want a newer model for the leather - i love the tan leather option.
is it hard to find leather seats at wreckers? im in Perth..and prolly wont ever find one here, but over east maybe?

The later 5th gens have the added power of around 5hp or something over the earlier 5th gens. So basically u would be paying for a little extra power (hardly noticable anyway) and prolly the newer condition and lower k's, if u purchased a 2001 model.

If u think u think 7G is worth 5hp and lil less km's, then go for it mate!

a 97 would look just as good as a 2001 when it roars past anyway.....up to u man
