The one owners with 65k sound interesting, and the silver/red combo looks amazing. A lot of them seem to have the hardtop too which is a huge plus.

With one owner there is a chance of good service records (after all they could afford the new $$$$ price) and could be less likely to defer maintenance. Also the earlier ones have the dual row ims.

A thorough PPI is a must, and from a reputable shop. Ask here for recommendations for local shops. Optional: (and more optional with a 1 owner with full service history) In my opinion you should strongly consider paying a little extra for compression and leak down test, and to inspect the oil filter and maybe even drop the sump. It is the best few hundred you can spend.

Good luck! Road trip!
