Our system here shows only 13 '98s in history, and I only have two that still regularly come in here.
One, a gasser, is VIN 002345, a couple others are 0xxxxx.
Of the two I still see, one has over 420k miles... is worn but still kickin'. The other is a bit of a sad story:
It was bought new in late '97, diesel+manual, red, and was rarely driven. And by rarely, I mean in 2017 it had not even covered enough miles to get a fuel filter. It was garaged its entire life. The ONLY things that were not original were the tires and battery. It was bought by its current owner at an estate sale, for a price so low it makes me sick to think about. When I first saw the car, I told the guy I would pay him $1000 over whatever he got it for and he refused. I wanted it, because I knew what he would do to it, as I had already seen his previous car. It tends to trash it up a bit (and by "a bit", I mean you cannot actually see the floorboard anymore aside from where your feet need to work the pedals).
He still has it, and it just recently crossed 60k miles. I did its first fuel filter, and at the time upgraded it to the thermostat tee type like I eventually did with all the '98s when those goofy fuel filters became either ridiculously expensive or simply unavailable. I also did its timing belt (it still looked fine), and just recently replaced its headlight bulbs and oil cooler seals.
If I had gotten it, it would still be perfect. I would have preserved it, and brought it out on nice days only. As it is now, it just gets used daily like any other car.... nothing special. Kinda sad. Still probably one of the nicer ones out there, and probably one of the lower mileage ones.
Even the goofy little mirrors are still in perfect shape.
