I purchased my '02 S back in 2004 with 6k on the odometer for 35K. The original sticker price was 63K. Despite the 40k + in mods that have been performed to it, I shutter to think what value the market would place on it. Nevertheless, I take solace in the fact, that with all that I have done to it, it would probably cost nigh on to a 100k to replace it.

Sounds like you go a really great deal at the time for an essentially new car.

My '02 S isn't all decked out with mods, but it's nicely optioned (xenons, psm, Bose), and was/is in excellent condition w/extensive service recs when I bought it 6 months ago for $16k. Mileage was 67k. I felt at the time and I still feel that was a market correct price. There are definitely similar cars out there for less, some a lot less, but probably not as well cared for.

Sadly, prices seem to have softened another ~5% since then. Just when you thought prices couldn't go any lower... For what I paid there isn't much to lose, so i don't sweat it. It's one hell of a car for the money.
