That one was expensive, but I bought a low mileage 03 for under $20,000. The power and handling is so much better, it was like coming out of the stone age (1st Gen compared to 2nd generation). When I traded in my 93 with 44,000 miles back in 99, they gave me 10 grand towards a new 99 L. Never had any regrets unti after I wrecked my 99, and saw the 93 all over town.
That is not a high price for a low mile GEN 1. You spent roughly $10k more than the price of the 94 mentioned above...stock for stock, I would hope your 03 performed better.
Another $3-4k for an aftermarket blower kit (Vortech or Pro Charger and even a Kenne Bell) and that 94 will run door handle to door handle with a stock GEN 2.
