2000 base. 100,510 mi. Purchased April 2008 @ 70,000 mi.
3 x water pump replacements. 1 AOS failure. Talk about embarrassing: Beautiful
sunny day in June. Came out of busy convenience store, started car, smoke totally
stopped all movement in parking lot. Zero visibility until smoke cleared, but only for a minute or so.
Have new Robbins glass window top. The installer my long time indy recommended is not interest in the job.
Really enjoy car. No regrets.

Not yet. Had planned to do a clutch and drop trans off to have this fixed but never found time. Things are crazy busy. Other than this, car is 100% great!!

118,00 MY 2000 S, LN IMS, RMS and clutch as PM at 106K. Orig IMS looked very good with no oil leaking in bearing. AOS, water pump, t-stat, new top, all at about 95K. Next will be some rear bushings and shocks.
Car drives great and love every min of it. She still looks new and people are shocked when they ask what year it is they think it's a new car still.
