I hear you on that. I don't want to jinx myself by saying what I might be driving very soon (waiting on some things to take care of first), but it will no doubt be a sexier ride than my probe...Stay tuned. Nice TC by the way.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I have already started buying stuff for it. Just ordered tails, projector headlights and fogs. I am like a kid in a candy store with all of the possibilities for parts out there.

The TCs definitely have a decent after market for mods and such. Get some pics up once you start putting stuff on.

If you want some subs for the ride I have 2 mint condition alpine type R's. 160 they are yours. Maybe, possibly?

Honestly, I had decent luck with my Probe. Granted I put a motor and tranny in it. I didnt mind the work and thanks to Hughes, I got good prices. I was just ready for a new car.

You do realize that if you don't mod/beat on your car or the previous owner doesn't beat the shit outta the car the Probes are really nice cars and quite realible. I would rather have my probe than a lot of other sporty cars out there. You have to realize if you buy a higher mileage car then you need to do the maintaince that goes along with that.

Agree with Jim, but most of us (with a few exceptions), got our probes with over 100K on the clock, and you can almost guarantee at some point before we got it, it had the piss beat out of it, which sucks, but hence the problems they are known for.

Agreed. Most of the guys can testify how I drive, hence throwing the rod in the engine & tranny rebuild. But they withstood 4 yrs of my abuse, which is pretty awesome, in my opinion... :thup:

I bought mine with 94k on the clock back on June of 2003 it was owned by two adult owners. The first owned it 14 years and only put 70k on it, no winters or anything below 40 degrees. The next owner put 24k in a year then sold it to me for $1600. It was an all stock near mint driver. Everything worked and still does.

I was only the second owner of mine. I bought it 3 and a half years ago with 130k on the clock. The sad thing is.... It still had the original clutch in it but I still had to replace the motor and tranny.
