Which unfortunitly is not going to be that cheap. The down side is that your going to have to choose between 3 different motors depending on what you looking. 2.8 is a VR6 non Turbo 6 cylinder 2.0 is 4 cylinders non Turbo (nick named 2.SLOW) 1.8 is 4 cylinder Turbo 2.8 VR6 is pretty reliable but they do have their problems too, Mostly Coils and Waterpumps. They have a bunch of mods available. 2.0 is the most reliable, no available mods unless you want to turbo it for 5,000 dollars and get 25 horse power. 1.8T is faster but less reliable, The 1.8 T has a Suction Jet Valve or PCV valve that clogs and causes oil to circulate through the breather system. This weakens all the rubber hoses until they tear because they are so soft. This gives you a Check Engine light. Also when that valve cloggs it blows out the seal for the cam adjuster so oil starts pouring off the engine. If you don't catch it in time it pours onto the Coolant Flange and causes the Coolant Flange to start leaking coolant. And if you don't catch that then your motor over heats. The plus side is that there is tons of mods availalbe to make it fly. Your going to want a 99 with the new body style. Which unfortunitly is not going to be that cheap.
