What do those "blank" buttons do on console and left center dash (options)

Thanks Woodsman! I'm a chomping at the bit to find a good one with 40-55K mi or so for less than $13Kish so it seems my options are limited. I found a just a few in US that meet these criteria with nice condition. Do you think I should wait it out or are the extras really the real deal worth waiting for and letting these go by?

The seat heaters are awesome - definitely wait for those. The switches for those are down near the window switches btw. You can put the top down on a chilly day, turn on the seat heaters and crank the heat - that's living!

As for the other options, PSM is a nice option if you're going to drive the car on anything but a dry warm day. Couldn't tell you about the sport exhaust, and IMO the foot-well light is silly.

My car has PSM, but had 2 blank switches on the upper console. I wired up the 2 blank switches to control the on-board computer and my garage door opener.

JN, I d say the most important thing is to find a car that has been garaged year-round and never winter driven (as in snow and salt). The elements are what ages a car . Every once an a while I see a version of a car or truck that looks like it s a time machine or something. I love them because they show what that vehicle CAN look like and there is no work involved in getting it there! I ve restored a few vehicles and it taught me what goes wrong with them- what aging really is. Only the glass stays the same . In Seattle , there s a 1999 that has had an engine grenade at 58 000 mi. BUMMER ,especially since the car looks showroom! Clearly, it has been garaged all Its life as it looks like new. This is so hard to replicate. I mean if its going to be a 2001 why not a 2001 that looks like a 2012.
something to think about ...
