The reason why, Is I'm looking at a 99, they guy says its a rtheft ecovery and not a crash. In that case, for the price I don't think I could go wrong. But I'll bring my jack so I can jack it up on the parking lot and look at the frame. The guy so far has been pretty up front with me, with is a plus. He also has tires on it from late summer, that will give me a good indication about the way it drives too. Nothing worse than someone throwing on new tires to hide existing problems.
