I sure wish I had bought one of those new. One of the few cars I've ever seen that actually appreciated in value. I looked at an SS not too long ago for sale by the owner, it was absolutely mint condition, he wanted 16k for it.
I'm more and more leaning toward a Buick Regal GS if I can find one.
I've never been much of a Chrysler fan, but the Chrysler Concorde Limited had a 250hp engine and the price is right for a 2002 or 2003 model. Hard part is finding one. They were loaded up pretty well, heated leather seats and stuff like that. I drove one that belongs to a friend and it's a pretty nice ride. But there was no way he'd part with his.
