Actually, the glove box was introduced with the 2003 model, and I don't see cup holders on that dash, just cd holders.

It looks like a nice car. That color looks awesome with white wheels and a white door stripe. Keep in mind that this model has the single row IMS bearing, so you might want to put some money aside to address that if you get the car.

I think I'd be more inclined to go with the first one and spend the extra 4K on repairs and upgrades. Then you'll have a solid car. If you buy the newer one, you're still going to have to spend a couple of thousand on it above the purchase price.

the single row IMS bearing
why is that? I mean how much does the ims bearing cost? and why would this model need more to fix than the other one.
