Seems a little pricey at $19k, esp. given the fact that it appears to have only two options, 18" wheels and the wind deflector. No xenons, PSM, Bose stereo - all desirable options.

Since you'd be paying a premium for this garage queen, I assume it's your intention to keep it a garage queen? If not, why not pay less for something newer in equally exceptional condition that's been driven more regularly? I recently paid $16k for an '02 S with 67k mi in exceptional condition w/service recs.

There are loads of great cars to be had with 30-50k miles in great condition at very reasonable prices. Price aside, a car that's been drive ~2,000 miles/yr just makes me nervous.

Too pricey for todays market. BTW if it's a 6 speed tip, it's very rare as the tip is a 5 speed. I have seen similar, to a little newer S's at reputable dealers for the same money. There are lots out there so don't rush into anything. Low mileage is nice, but at that age I would rather have 40K miles on it so that I knew it was at least driven on a regular basis. Don't skip the PPI, Don't skip the PPI....oh and don't forget to get a PPI. It's a buyers market out there.

just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the replies. Good info. Yeah I saw that about the six speed tip, he is obviously incorrect. What is PSM?
