Got it from a neighbor who'd aggressively maintained it at my #1 indy.
Very good car, has needed little in the past 35K since we got it. Auto trans shifts fine.
Needs an AC compressor. Bearing is shot in the old one. I have the compressor out of the loop by using a shorter belt.
Has needed brakes all around (normal wear), and needs a RF strut mount and bearing.
Had a PS leak due to a failed seal. Easy fix.
Front O2 sensor is flakey, but is usually OK. It's younger daughter's car and is not driven a lot as she is away most of the time.
Also have a '00 9-3 with 205K. Was even better maintained and I think it's a nicer car. The PO added a rear sway bar, the steering rack brace and an upper stress bar in front, a combo that makes it handle much better than the '99. The '00 is a 5 speed and has the HOT engine, which does make a difference. This is elder daughter's ride and is driven daily.
If I had to take one as my ride it'd be the 2000.
