That's not the problem...
The cars got progressively more complex (and expensive to repair) as the years passed. However, for those of us in the West, where fewer of them seem to have been sold, the problem is finding one regardless of the year. When I shopped around, almost everything I saw on the various ads, lists, etc., was back East somewhere. I would rather have had a '98-99 but bought the '96 because that is what turned up and I wanted to stop shopping and start driving.
