 I bought this car new in the summer of 
2000. Performance is great for such a 
small car. However, I am unhappy with 
the current resale value of my vehicle. 
Price when I first bought it, was well 
over $14,000 (got pretty much all the 
upgrades). I put $4,000 down, financed 
the rest for 4 years, and now, with a 
little more than 2 years left on the 
loan, I am about $100 away from being 
upside down on the loan! Of course, if 
you're considering this car used, it'll 
be a great deal for you. Just don't get 
it new, like I did, because its value 
drops like a rock (probably because 
this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it 
cars).
