Default purchasing a 1998 pace car wheat should I know???

I am looking at a 1998 Pacecar with 4k actual miles on it. How much should I be paying? It is an automatic. What goodies did these cars come with?

What should I look for etc.

I believe all the Pace Cars were equipped the same , auto or 6 speed , all options except the cd changer and no upgraded suspension? I wish mine was worth more but probably mid 30's with that low mileage. :cry

Did the 98 come with a HUD or did you add that if added how much and where did you get it from?

Where did you mount the CD changer? I have a JVC 12 changer I can add into the car. Was it hard to get access to the back of the factory radio?

I am 99% sure HUD was 99 and newer- so not available on the pace car.

PS- take a look on EBAY or the for sale section here on the forum. Pace This is selling his....Its the coolest pace car I've ever seen-

:cheers:

I added the HUD unit for a winter project. If You have the funds I would say that the car "PACE THIS" has for sale is the nicest example You could ever hope for. Plus he has done all the mods such as HUD , great looking wheels, incredible interior , heck I wish I could have mine looking so good. :eek:

Ya I looked at it but it is a bit higher than I wanted to spend. I am getting one with 4700 miles on it. I thnk that is pretty good deal.

At least I hope so.

You will spend twice the difference in Mods the first year. That "Pace This" car is a steal.
