The hood and driver side fender appear to have been repainted by a previous owner. There are minor knicks on the car consistent with 16 years and 110k miles.
I’m not happy with the amplifier mounting. It’s on my list of things to fix this spring.

Just posted to Craigslist.

Not a lot of action yet. When I get a chance I'll put it up on my local PCA classifieds.

I added some more pics to the craigslist post. Here they are for you to enjoy as well!

Bump! Any thoughts on my price?

Looks great, well optioned, well maintained! Anyone who knows these cars well will recognize the value. That being said, most new buyers DON'T know these cars well, and will be put off by the price at 110k miles when compared to less desireable examples offered at a lower price point with less miles. Also, an incomplete aftermarket sound system without head unit will put off many buyers, despite the bones of a nice system being there.
I suggest you put in a working mid-grade head unit, and offer to remove it for credit against the price if the buyer wants to use something else. List it in PCA to get exposure to the type of buyer that will recognize the added value of your car. Then be patient, your buyer will come.

As a fellow 02 S (104k miles) thinking of selling, your price is like houses, depends on inventory and how long your willing to wait. Personally in my area I don't think I could get close to that $$$. That sales price would be closer to what a dealer might sell for. Now I don't have a hard top but my 02 has the good options and lots of preventative maintenance.
I don't want to influence your attempt.
I do think when I get ready to pull the trigger I'm going to research all the various selling sites to come up with a price that works with what is for sale and the prices

Good luck and I hope the market is strong in your area.

Don't waver on the price. Take care of those nickle and dime items... giving your buyer nothing to have to worry about fixing/repairing. Nothing.

Drop in a head unit.

Get the dings removed (PDR).

That's a nice car. Plus... you've the hardtop.

Hold out.

GLWS!!!

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

Had a buyer, but he had submitted an offer on another car that got accepted.

Still for sale! Also, I am now including the head unit (I had attachment issues)

Bump for the weekend!

Return from vacation Bump

Will you sell the hardtop as a stand alone item?

I will not. Sorry.

Good luck with the sale. That is a nice looking ride.

just have to say that is a great shot ..

Thanks! It's hard to take pictures of these cars sometimes. Certain angles can look good in person but fall flat in a photo.

Quick question- interesting licence plate. Any history there?
Beautiful car by the way.

The license plate is binary for the decimal value 13, which is my birthdate (in July)!

Bump! Here we are getting fuel

All the way in Connecticut. I think you are west coast, right?

Damn, driving season is almost over. Was hoping I didn't have to store this car again.

Beautiful car and nice options there.

Thanks!


Here's a pic when I was getting ready to drop in the new soft top

I still have this car, and it may end up getting traded in on a boring car...

Any offers?

Sorry boys and girls. The car is gone!
