If your car is running ok you shouldn't have a problem. I have a '97 and was going to trade it in for the '99, but didn't because of what they where going to give me for mine. I test drove one anyways and it was pretty fast. My boss got a '99 and a co-worker raced me in mine. I beat him, but not by much. Mine is still stock with 16k on it.
Bet him. You should win.
