I haven't seen any ES's as sharp looking as mine was I would love to have a 98 GS, but I don't know how realistic that is. Right now my top choice is a 98 Audi A6 Quattro for ~12, 12.5k. I'm also looking at '99 or '00 Acura TLs. I loved my ES, but the O2 sensors+cat. converter scare me

If I were you, I'd go for a newer ES like the '00 and '01 models (same as your previous '97 but with less problems, a more modern look and more interior features). Those ES can be had for roughly $14-$15K with higher than average mileage. If you're a fan of the current ES design, look into the '02-'03 ES. Be aware of the transmission hesitation problem in the computer software of those ES. Good luck
