Sorry for the delay in reply! We were away from email a few days. By the way, we see late-model EVCs several times a week in our area. There probably are at least 6 around here. We spotted the first one about last August in a Walmart parking lot. That's what started us thinking about them. We are not thoroughly familiar with the `99 but these are the items we think are new: * keyless entry * two alarms - propane, smoke * mirror on the closet (was gone in `99) * reading lights over the back bed * more cup holders Other than the keyless entry, there are no changes in the EV itself. If a dealer still has a `99 then it seems a better deal to pay the `99 price and add the other items yourself. If you are looking to buy a new EVC, we recommend to not wait long - especially if you want to try to pay below sticker. We contacted 7 dealers within a 250 mile radius of us in Northern Colorado and found none in stock. (The 2000 we test-drove was sold the next time we went back). The dealers had a total of about 35 on order, about 30 still available with delivery ranging from a few weeks to "4 to 6 months." All of the dealers claim the ones on order will be sold in March and April as the summer vacationers make their purchases. I wouldn't be surprised. 3 of the dealers wouldn't budge from sticker. Another offered a $1000 discount. The two fartherest away made the best offers, with the low being $800 over invoice - but he has to place a new order and we would have to wait for whenever it comes and risk missing the summer. Finally the local dealer moved a little more in response to the other offers. It pays to do some research! Happy shopping! Steve Mecham ----- Original Message -----

I'm trying to decide if the 2000 is worth the extra $$. Tnaks. - Mary "steve and pat mecham" <spmecha-@...> wrote: original article: John, We test drove a 2000 a couple of weeks ago in Colorado.
