Yeah, the value went way down on the first generations. There are still some second generations that can ask quite a bit of money. I paid $8,500 for my excellent condition second generation. They aren't cheap to maintain or mod, ask anyone who ones one and they will tell you the same. I like them because they are sleepers, I can drive around unoticed most of the time

. Plus for the initial buying price, they keep up with and beat cars that cost up to $30k and $40k.
