For those of you in the market- I've looked at the following cars
 

PM me for my impressions. I did not end up buying either......

Needless to say, I'm having trouble finding the right 02+...

What made you not? Very good prices. Clean looking for 50k mile cars as well.

However... a pre-modded one found here usually gets you where you want with less work and less $$$. And many cars here are done very nicely, people will vouch for good builds or warn you for not so good builds.

what made you walk away ?

what are you looking for that these didnt have ?

Well, the one in Riverside had 2nd gear popout. Other than that- it was pristine. Paint was ALL original.

The one in Anaheim had lots of paintwork, and interesting damage to the body just to the rear of the drivers front wheel (you should be able to see in the pics). It was also pinging a bit on boost. Could be bad gas or worse?

Basically, I'm super picky about paint, other than that I'm pretty open as long as it has a black interior, and no black exterior. Getting a bit discouraged, thinking what I'm looking for can't be found at that price point. Now, $50k is another story...

Thanks for the info, I'll cross them off the list. The price on the silver one is very low, is the dealer willing to help with the 2nd gear pop out?

there are no driver's side pics! hmmmm....

Interesting...on the silver one there is 10 months and 2k or so miles 'missing' between owner 2 and 3.

Are 'dealer miles' the same as 'track miles'? :)

A

I would assume so!!!! :eek:

He said he took it back to auction.

I didn't see any evidence of the car being tracked.
