With all the proper maintenance, these cars will run for a long, long time. So in your search, I'd be adamant about the car's service history...if there's no documentation, then I'd keep looking.

I'd also try autotrader.com. It has a more sophisticated search engine than CL, and in general, sellers seem to be more forthcoming. I found my 97 LS through Autotrader, and things went beautifully.

Good Luck in your search.
