Hope I'm doing this right; first time and on break at work! How is this car working out for you? I have the 97 convertible. Got it used at a steal - I thought - expecting to spend some $ but seems it never ends. Need to replace motors in both windows. Already replaced transmission (never, never will again buy a car that I cannot personally check my fluid). I started having problems with the ETS Off light and engine light and was told by dealer no problem...worry about engine light only if flashing. Sometimes the ETS Off light is on, ABS light is on, and - get this - low traction light comes on when I'm driving along on a smooth, dry surface. I'm to get these checked out when I'm off next week because if I'm slowing to a stop when the low traction light comes on the car does some strange things.

Oh, did I mention the motors for the top need replaced, too? But for $1200 I can manually lower and raise the top! Good luck with your car! As we all know, a good mechanic is key!
