Thanks for the replies. We went ahead and bought a great late 99 9-3 with just 33000 on the odo. It feels great tho i wish it had the performance suspension. anyone know the specs? We researched the heater box and it is from the "early" 99's as well as the head problems. we looked at one made 5/98 and it had a real "tight" knob feel and the faceplate actually bulged out. also we felt it was blowing hot air when it shouldn't. apparently they get stiff, sticky and stop working altogether. $800 repair, we passed on that one. don't know what exactly "late" 99 means but the one we got was from july 99 so hoping it is OK. really like it. visually the motor looks slightly different than a 2000 we looked at. the 2000 says "ecopower" and the 99 does not but has a red cover over the CID. hope it is the right one.
