Unless there is a reason you specifically want a gen 3, consider a gen 4. Way more capable. Gen 3s are a blast in the tight smooth stuff but so are Gen 4's and they can handle the rougher chop these days way better.

This is some GREAT advice if you can swing it.....ALSO Gary at C&G is a straight up good guy to deal with and stands behind his work - He has that gen 4 for sale.
 
If you buy a Gen 3, you will fall in love. You will then start wondering about the Gen 4 cars. Few seasons under your belts and the Gen 3 will be for sale and the hunt for a Gen 4 begins.
This will repeat with the Gen 4 after a few more seasons. Gen5/Gen 6 will start to look real good.
As you get familiar and comfortable with each car, you will want more from each car. It's a great way to go and learn along the way.
Good luck in your search. Can't go wrong with a Funco and all the support you could ever need is just a phone call away.

I had a Gen 3, currently on my 2nd Gen 4, they are both awesome. Can't go wrong. The only thing stopping the upgrade to a Gen 6 is $$$$.

Grant and his team are top notch, they continue to provide support on every car I have owned.

Tell him about the added cargo space in the Gen 4 as well, can handle at least 3 more bags of groceries.

Would love a gen 4 but a little out of my budget right now. Will start with a gen 3. Thanks!
 
I saw that one. Still went for more than 17k and was pretty rough non turbo. Would like something clean and turnkey.

This gen 3 im looking at has triplle bypass in the back. I know the gen 4s have more travel, but what makes them ride that much nicer? Thanks

Well, they could tell you, but they'd have to kill you after..........Probably a little bit of everything....not just one thing....hence the additional $$$.

Longer wheelbase, more travel, mibboards, upgraded steering rack, front bypass option and a few other things. Ive owned (1) gen 2, (2) gen 3s, (3) gen 4s and (1) gen 5. Looking for another gen 4 at the moment. If you can get a smoking deal on a gen 3 they are a blast to drive, especially in the tight smooth stuff, there is just so much chop out there from side by sides the more travel the better IMO.
