Re: The STS is gone and I'm out almost $6K....

The 1999 model year was produced and sold in 1998.

2009 - 1998 = 11 Wake up. Either way that small discrepancy doesn't matter in this topic. I'll also have you know I'm very excelled in math both base 2 and base 10 systems.

114k on a Cadillac of any flavor is just barely broken in. We'll see how the beetle is fairing at that mileage and what it's worth at the time.

Yes, some pre 2000 N* engine had some issues. We know that and you should have too before buying it. But they're still one hell of an engine and almost always worth fixing.

Do what you want, it's your money but I think we can all agree you made a very silly choice.

I just thought I'd add myself to that list. If I was rich and had money to burn like a lot of you guys it wouldn't be that big of a deal to me either....
