If it made it 130k miles already, it probably aint' walking anymore :rant:
That is what I figured.

Check the endplay carefully on the crank. Those years were the worst for crank walk.
I call BS on this cause it's like saying 1Gs don't walk. It's complete hear say on the motor, the owner and what they do to the car. Sure there may be more 95/96 that have walked, but let snot put down the fact that they have had more years to build up "walk stats" than the 97-99s. Don't let the walking fact decide the car purchase as you can always fix/ replce the motor.

If you are really worried about it, I can come check it out with you for a small fee. It isn't hard to check for crankwalk, but you do need the right tools. Let me know via PM if you are interested. We can of course check into the rest of the car as well pretty intensly if you like. If you friend is serious about purchasing it, then it is money and time well spent to avoid the possible headaches etc in the future.
