Nope. '98 had a cassette in dash. Maybe a CD player was optional, as was the CD changer.

Bought my 98 new, and it came standard with cassette deck. In dash CD player was an option as was the 12 CD player.

An in-dash CD player was a $100 option and the remote CD player was a $600 option.

Yeah, but the '98 base price was a hair under $40k - $39k and change, IIRC, so a few hundred for the 12 CD system was not at all out of line. What frosted me at the time (8/97) was that the 6 speed was an extra cost option. Sports cars = manual trannies; auto should have been the extra cost item as a fitting punishment for anyone wanting one.
