Thanks to all of you for the input. you guys certainly know the car and you saved me some $$ and heart ache.
I believe the S is a heavier car. I drove a low milege loaner (tipt) for a few days and didn't think it was as "light " or as balanced as mine. Heavier engine, wheels, etc.
I would pay 5 k for a 2006 S with 40 k on the clock..if I could find one in the same conition as mine and color (Black Basalt/ Sand Int.)..fat chance. Mine's purrrfect, no kiddin'.
And I know the owner is a freak on taking care of the paint, engine etc. and drives it conservativity(most of the time).

I would need to go up to a 2008 to get what I have now miles, condition, warrantee, and pay 50 k

I'll have to keep dreaming for now
