IMHO, I would go for the 03 S
More power
Better brakes
Much newer
Better interior
A high quality shipper is not cheap, so that is an added cost, could be a significant part of replacing the clutch and IMS
At 130K, it is very likely the clutch has been replaced
What is the asking price on both?
when was the clutch and IMS replaced on the 98 base?
You should note that some of the replacement IMSB are not lifetime and from their manufacturer are service items that need to be replace at IIRC 30k or 40k miles (don't remember)
Get a PPI in any case
