99s are rare and were all sport models, so that's something to consider.

I have a california roof model which can be fun sometimes but also has its own problems.

These cars are easy to work on and fun to drive, you'll have a good time either way.
So there were 99 models in North America ??? I thought they stopped in 1998 model year for the USA?
