I bought my car with 46k on the clock and it had a new clutch in it (couldn't have had more than a couple thousand miles on it).

Guess the guy that had my car previously had a bit of a heavy foot..

I had a look at two black on black 01 S's today.

One of them did not have speakers in the doors, nor an amp, and had an aftermarket head unit. I mentioned to the seller that I thought they call came with speakers in the doors, and he said "oh the bose upgrade" and I thought NO as isn't the BOSE upgrade a different head unit & speakers in the back too?

Was door speakers an option - as well as the amp?

One of the cars had a rattle in the door when the window was down too - not sure if this is common?

Not all models came with speakers in the doors. The door speakers were an option. The BOSE system is yet another upgrade option as well. I do think that all models came with factory amps though, but yours may have been taken out when the aftermarket head unit was installed which is what is powering your dash speakers. The rear speakerbox behind the seats is also an option if you don't have the Bose upgrade.
