I'd vote 1 or 4.
2 has already a lot of owners and a recall, and yet has little mileage.
3 is a Tiptronic. Nuff said.

From a personal standpoint, I'd pick #4. I like yellow better, 8k miles is very low, one owner means you get to know more about the car. Probably worth the couple $$$ more.

#4, mainly b/c it's a 1-owner and yellow.

#1 or #4, With that said, the color preference would be the final choice.

I would check the in-service date of all four cars. With an early MY01, you may be or almost out of warranty. With a late MY01, you may still have a year or more of warranty left. That would be pretty important to me.

Also, if you plan to mod your car like many of us, check some of the cars for sale by board members here. Last I checked, there are a few attractive cars in the price range you are considering with performance mods already done.

Agree with the consensus. #4, last resort #1. The price on #4 is way high though. Call Aaron Zelinski at 708-403-0300, just got a friend of mine a sub 4000 mile car for $83k ish, clean one owner.

Forgot to mention it ... but of course be very careful for a bad driver ... even #4 could be ruined by some dork who runs flat out as soon as the car runs ... it's a good option ... but from our side of the screen. Watch every detail (most gurus here know the weak points... I don't ... lol) thouroughly...
Most likely obvious, but just a reminder
