what's the first year the lighting was made? Are there any years you should stay away from?

 

the gen 2's started in 99. The 99 and 2000's have the similar wheels. The 99's have black mirrors, and dont have the overhead console. If you are looking to save money, you should be able to get a good deal on a used 99-2000. The 01-03's are a little faster. They have a different intake, a 90mm mass air and a 3:73 rear end. They also have different headlights, tail lights , front grill and rims.
good luck, Shane

 

Shane,
I beg to differ,
The 2000's go pretty good. lol J/K
Also the "99's and "00's had intercooler problems.

Was it a recall issue?

When purchasing a use 99-00, what should you look for to be sure you're not buying an expensive problem?

 

i'm with him

 

Bill,

No intercooler problems now.

The 99s go pretty good too but I can't keep up with you.
