That is worth going for a look see. It probably has Nivomats which are expensive to replace, but if you don't haul a lot it should be OK. Check the tires and rotors for replacement possibility. The T-belt and tensioner were replaced around 100K, but check the sticker. We all know the PCV system is probably in need of cleaning at this mileage.

The 1999 has individual coil overs, so verify that the CEL and ABS warning lights work when you put the key in posII.

Does the Ebrake still work? Tends to get stuck if never used.

Not a bad price, but it will probably need new struts and steering stuff. Much more fun than your 855!!!
