    Yeah, look for acceptable service records(i.e that major parts were changed w/in a reasonable time). Good-old common sense will tell u if it's a winner or loser; don't fall in love with it too soon. If u like both, go for the 97(it's the last MY b/4 S/V series) and in the R trim it's a little "special."

      I beleave that the term T5-R was only used in '95 and it was later renamed to R in '96, '97 cars.
      BTW, t-belt labor is typically 3 hours plus the belt, about $45.
