Quick Facts:
1999
M52 Inline-6
5spd
90k Miles
New Front/Rear pads & rotors installed @ 83k Miles
Factory Harmon Kardon Sound system (Couple of blown speakers though)
Leather Interior (Rear Seats have seen better days)
Powered Convertible Top (Needs tension strap, dog ear, and storage lid strut repairs)
Custom Cat-back Magnaflow Exhaust
I bought the car last November with 83k miles. I needed something well built and reliable for a 2500 mile drive to and from California (Thats 5,000 miles of pure highway driving!). I put a custom Magnaflow Exhaust on since then. I've performed two full oil changes with Royal Purple 5W-30, next one within the week ;) . I did a full brake service (NEW OEM Pads, Rotors, and Flush) soon after purchasing. Tires are at 85% tread life. I have never had any problems with the car and you would never guess that it's a near decade old car by the way it runs. And now, with gas prices the way they are; there isn't a sportier car out there that gets gas mileage as good as this. If regular maintenance isn't enough, I put just as much effort into cleaning it too!
The paint is still immaculate minus a couple scuffs on the passenger side side-skirt and rear valence. I try hard to keep it waxed on a normal basis. Outside top condition is great, although the window is starting to fade (hard thing to avoid here in Florida). I'd rate the dash, door panels, and other misc. trim at an 8/10. The carpet has no stains or rips. There are a few downsides though. The leather on the driver & passenger side seat, center arm rest, and rear bench are becoming worn. The headliner/inner top-portion (common problem) has fabric separating at the dog ears. The car has the Harmon Kardon Sound system, but there are a couple of blown speakers. The bright side is that it includes a Harmon Kardon powered subwoofer and 6-disc CD changer.
