 I bought my 00 svt after owning a 96 
tour seV6. Only problem with 96, wheel 
bearings, thats why I bought a 00 
SVtour. It has been a great 
experience. The paint(silver) quality 
is far better than expected, no chips 
on front end. Otherwise, I always use 
synthetic oil, doesn't burn 
any.Goodrich KDW tires go quick at 23k,
I like the twisties. I will have 
this car a long time. The exhaust is 
exotic. The wheels are bend proof.  
Emergency brake needs lubrication 
yearly. Not much for aftermarket 
stuff. Zero faults. Keep intake 
clean, change coolant,tranny fluid, 
brake fluid, p/s fluid, filters 
available at Walmart and you will 
have zero problems with this car.
