If you have proof of 12 oil changes, then I would be interested. Whether a car is driven or not, you still have to change the oil. Also should have changed the brake fluid a few times.

Have the car inspected by a knowledgeable mechanic BEFORE you buy it.

Does the car have windscreens? Does it have PSM (stability control)? Does it have new/newer tires? Does it have a glass rear window?

My gut is that $20K (or even $18K) for a '02S is a bit high. But it does have the TechArt body work which cost a lot to do (you can decide if it's worth the premium). I like the TechArt stuff.
