'98 - '99 Issues
I have been told that there are more problems with the 98-99 LS1s than there are with the 2000-2002 models, if so, what are they?
What are the main problems that would make me want a 2000+ more than a 99?

I've had a '98, a '99, and a '00. What you heard has been untrue in my experiance.

i was directing him toward the differences between the years, not a list of "if you've got a 98 its a piece of **** because....."
a 99 with those kinda miles is pretty rare, i'd say jump on it.

I drive a 99, as far as im concerned 98 and 99 are some of the best years in TA's. Undoubtedly this can be argued forever between 2000+ owners and 98-99's, but you wont be wrong in going for a 99

my biggest problem is that about half the time, i have to try and shut the bitch like 53 times. i end up having to hold keep it open, then press the release on my key fob like 20 times before it will actually. oh yeah i think the button under my dash stopped working too lol

my button under the dash works, but it will only halfway pop it open. What i have to do is use the button on the key fob. that always works...for now. That and my AC control is all kinds of jacked. the track is messed up, so when i turn it to Max, its actually on AC. kinda weird, but i have to deal with it.
