Default Just swapped my 95 for a 99 Coach Ed

Some of you here don't know me because its been so long since I last posted. For those of you who know my story, Im the guy from Chicago that's done my fair share of xenon upgrades for some members here as well as on www.hidplanet.com/forums section. I used to drive a 1995 ES which I recently traded for a 99 Coach Leather edition.

As for me, its been a super long week so I'll spare the juicy details (for now).
Here are the specs

99 Coach Ed.
Pearl/Arctic White Ext.
Tan Perforated Leather interior
71K miles
exc. condition
12,900

Look for pics in a sec

Good to hear from you again tiguy. I also remember reading your posts on your Xenon upgrades with your '95. Anyway, congrats on picking up the '99 Coach. Makes me miss my '96 Coach dearly

I'm uploading some pics now as we speak. These are from Thursday night when I got the car. I'll have some more daytime shots in a few hours when I head back out

Time for a new HID retrofit! I've got a few new surprises in store for you too! Look out for that soon

All '99 ES Coach Edition have factory wood trim around the side and center air vents, and all '97-'99 ES have no wood trim on the stereo unit.

They gave me 4500. I had 113,000 miles and the car needed some service. The 99 drives well. Super smooth (alot more than the 95 and more power as well) but I'm estimating this newer one will need some new struts soon (hence my other thread). On a lighter note, I just grabbed a strut tower brace on Ebay for about 25.00 (no one bid but me ) Next up HID retrofit special ala mode, GPS DVD NAvi and SC430 rims. As for now, here are the stock pics I snapped on the digicam while I was out and about this weekend

'99es looks the best in 2-tone white/grey! good pick!

Congrat for the choice. is the '99 significantly better than the '95?
