Last week I put a deposit to hold this car that a local specialty dealer had incoming. It showed up and it came home with me. This is an 03 with only 26.3k miles. Paid a little more than I wanted, but with the condition this is in and it already having a full header back exhaust, I think I did good.
These were the only photos I could get before it go dark.
Looks nice! Great color. I hope it brings you many miles of smiles. This forum is a great resource if you have any questions. Make sure that you check the date code on the tires. I'm sure there's plenty of tread on them, but if they're more than 6 years old, they need to be replaced.
Don't forget to SAVE THE WAVE!!
The tires was one of the first things I checked. A new set was put on a year ago. They also splurged on a set of Michelin run flats.
The car also definitely has a cam, intake and tune, not just the exhaust. It's an auto but I found it has 3.73 gears instead of the 3.15 it was optioned with. All was professionally installed. So I find that to be a plus, since it's all things I would want to do to it down the line. I'm not sure what power it's making now, but it feels legitimately fast today and not for its time. The loping it has at idle from the cam just sounds plain awesome.
Enjoy your new ride, looks beautiful!
