+1
see the console gauge pod is glued in place like a 5 year old did it?

One nice thing about the 01/03 build date is this car shouldn't be affected by the common soft axle issue. Good looking car.

the console gauge pod is glued in place like a 5 year old did it?Actually it's not. That effect is fairly common.

The factory used some sort of gooey adhesive to hold the rubber trim to the top of the pod. When it gets hot, the adhesive softens and begins to ooze. I've had to clean mine several times using a citrus-based cleaner.

Other than the massive amount of hyperbole in the vehicle description and the temp gauge being dangerously close to head-warping level, it does look like a nice car.

That must be the 03 300 B
Surely they weren't making 04 models in January 03.

But it has all the '04 features.

What about this statement^^^^^ mentioned earlier????? Why such a reading...less one has been messing with the mileage ticker............but seriously.....what should one do to check that out?

Dom is right...it needs burping.

Could it be one of those rare decontented models (03 with 04 features)? But I thought they came out later in 03.
