They never answered my email asking what current issues it has outside of the obvious cosmetic blemishes. What does everyone think? Same dealer I bought my current beater from. :lol:

Auction over and I would want 2004 and up. No sense in buying old steering technology and not sure when PI was standard (performance improved heads and intake) maybe 01 or 02?

I won the auction. ;)

It's just a beater to replace my boring Sable with bad shocks & slipping trans. I'm not buying one to mod it.

Cool Injoy the new ride. It will give you plenty of miles to Injoy it.

Didn't know you won, thought you were looking at this one and wanted opinions if you should go with this or another. My opinion was another and not to mod either. I had an 01 cvpi bought at 70k miles trans went at 95k miles and I rebuilt and got rid of at 125k for a cv sport

Why should I pass on this one, just because of the year?

Major redesign in 2003, improved quality control in 2004.
