Thanks guys!

Got it with 101,2xx
now has around 106,6xx

He told me many of the upgrades were done in the last year so I'm guessing that's why it looks so nice. I have the full service records and all paperwork and it looks like any issues the car had were already fixed at dealerships. My last car was a 2007 and the paint on this car is in better shape! It runs amazing.

-rotors/pads replaced (drilled rotors)
-spark plugs were changed around 60k so ill be doing that soon
-serp belt was replaced a while ago but i'll do that with the underdrive pulley
-MAF was replaced because of CEL
-driver seat belt connector was replaced because of an error
-fuel filter replaced
-I had the air bag off and noticed that the steering wheel had a $4XX.XX price tag on the frame so i'm guessing that was replaced too

In the 5,000 miles I had it the only real problem I noticed was the rattling when coasting slowly from the rear right. I want to fix it as it's more of an annoyance than anything but I'm not certain on which part is actually causing it and don't want to be buying random parts.

Brandon,

Congrats on the nice pick up. You will love it. I too have had that rattling noise from the back and if its similar to mine it is the soft top cover area by the trunk (not sure what its called). Mine was loose when the top was up or down and I checked the rubber stops that the cover sits on and mine needed adjustment. Not sure if this makes sense but it was a rattle that was bugging me for months only at slow speeds.

Best of luck.
