We had a 1998 manual w/ the 2.8 that I bought from my parents a few years back. They owned it from new. It was a great little car, and we had a lot of fun with it. I always thought it was a great timeless design. We wound up selling it on BAT when I got the 911. I agree with the video that its one of the best fun cars for the money available.
This was the listing for ours.
