i am also looking to buy a 1997 vic non police. It looks clean. The kid said it needs a ball joint. Checks out good interior exterior etc. It has 118k miles... are the non police car pretty bullet proof too? Is this a rear that had the intake problem? thanks for any help

The 97 had the plastic intake. So it will always be open to a leak. WSe jhave replaced some 2 or 3 times. Ball joints are a known weak spot on the CV's. The engine and trans are just about the same as the PI. If it checks out good, and the price is right, buy it.

If you have to change the intake Dorman made some aftermarket replacements check with your parts store.
