[What to get? Gen 2 or Gen 3 OBW?]

I regularly debate this issue myself as my 2000 4 cyl OBW ages. Preference would be for a 2008 6 cyl OBW (I prefer the 2008-2009 front end compared to the 2005-2007) but may settle for a 2004 6 cyl OBW.

Yup. My 1998 has just under 220k and, although I love the car, it just isn't worth the fix.

[What to get? Gen 2 or Gen 3 OBW?]

OK, my gen 1 OBW needs work and it's not worth the cost, time or effort. I am in the market for a new ride and am torn as to what to get. In your opinion, would I be better off with a lower mileage (under 100k) gen. 2 or a higher mileage (100k-150k) gen. 3?

 

    I am looking at the 6cyl. for both and I obviously know that each car is it's own animal as far as history, condition and maintenance. I am hoping to get something I can get a few years and miles out of. From what I am seeing, it'll cost me a little more to get into a gen 3, but I really like the styling and I have heard they are a better vehicle overall.  If it was your cash, what would you get?
