My 2001 had 40,232 miles on the ticker when I signed the papers today. $19k was the selling price (plus some carry over from a trade in, warranty, tax, title, my left kidney and first born child...)

It's got low miles, but the interior needs some work, and though the paint and body look good, I will probably have it professionally buffed and polished.

It also had the 18" wheels and Litronics... so I can't complain too bad!

Interesting. I drove a 2002 base today with an impecible (sp?) interior. No xenons, but the interior looked new. So a 2002 base with tip, 35,000 miles at $22,995 is a good price? I even asked for the manager to inquire about a PPI and he agreed. My only problem, and I am about the middle of the road when it comes to knowledge about cars. The lugs were rusted along with a little rust on the axle that connected the wheels the the axle? Is this normal? Anyone have any opinions?

BTW: The box of wine from Target...5 bottles for 14.99, pretty good

lugs rust on all of them pretty much, if driven in rain

I'm guessing you are talking about the rotors? Just like DJ said on the lugs - very normal for rust to show on the rotors if undriven. They'll clean up nicely when driven through the twisties....
