as a 3rd gen owner i can tell u that they are fun to drive, especially if you have 4WS. Alot better around corners and on the highway. The only thing i find hard is that no one really makes aftermarket parts for 3rd gens no more so if you want aftermarket stuff, you have to look hard and have some dough. I bought my car for 200.00, only because the guy that had it before me abandoned the car, so my dad took it to his shop and got a new title and registration. The only thing wrong with the car then was the transmission. i guess the guy forgot to put tranny fluid and it messed up all the gears. Try and get the guy down to like 2000, if not then less.
