Personally I'd look for an 03 or 04 S model, more updates and options standard for a few extra dead presidents (worth it). Without knowing the cost comparison and wear items it's hard to give an opinion. Here is some advice. Have an indy look the car over unless you know your stuff. Budget $4K more than you pay for the car to replace the AOS, water pump, low temp thermostat, IMS, clutch and RMS (if needed). Also replace the serpentine belt and coolant tank cap (if not already upgraded). Change the oil filter adapter to the spin on style and use good oil (search the forum). Regardless of your choice, these are great cars that are fun as heck to drive. Pictures are required. Good luck!
