You're talking about buying a USED car here. It would be nice if you could get a car built in the desired year, but don't overlook the issue that is TEN TIMES MORE IMPORTANT, and that is CONDITION.

When buying a used car, the criteria that is absolutely PARAMOUNT is CONDITION. I have run into a similar problem in the past when buying a used car for my wife and my daughter. They want to select it based on color.

If you find a car in top condition from any of these years, that is the one you should buy. There were not that many of these cars imported to the US to begin with, so if you limit yourself to one particular year, you are narrowing your choice dramatically.

CONDITION IS EVERYTHING!
