2004 CE Vert.
Only 300 miles (was in storage while overseas), dreaded fuel gage problem (will use Chevron from now on), 1 wheel sensor not reporting (will retrain or bring to stealer
).
Other than that, waiting for the weather to get nice
to put on some miles, had it for 16 months already, and have not been able to really drive it.

My modded 03 Z has been perfect and I have added many mods that could have caused all sorts of problems.
My 99 was this way too. So I really can't say the newer cars are better. I must have gotten two great examples of the car, because neither of two cause me any problems.

About what does it cost to fix this seal problem. Should I get an extended warrantee for my 02. It's factory warrantee expired last October. It has 16000 miles.

I purchased my 03 anniv. ed. new in May 03. It now has almost 21K miles. Only issue I have had was a leaking rear differential at 3500 miles. Dealer fixed it on first try under warranty. Then I changed out my 3.15 gears with 3.73 gears and TC around 6000 miles at ECS. Has been perfect since. This one is a keeper.
