Well after a year of preparing, I bought an 06 with 27k miles. CPO, 1 owner, no accidents, 4 yrs remaining on powertrain warranty, $3k under book. Information on this forum was a huge help. Car was maintained consistently but the previous owner had some bouts of carelessness--front lip will likely need a respray from pitched entrances and passenger side wheels were curbed a bit. Dealer put some new cheap Korean all-season tires (Nexen N7000) on it. Fine for now but I'll probably buy some Advan Sports next year, along with an OEM hardtop. Anyway, onto the good stuff:

Car was filthy from sitting in the dealer lot for six months:




Paint needed some work. The rest are quick shots in the garage after washing, claying, etc. Soon I'll drive somewhere and do a proper photoshoot.
















Products used, in case anyone is curious:

Congrats on your purchase

I used to own a model year 2004 Silverstone with black/red interior. Now I have a model year 2007 New Formula Red with black interior. You're making me miss the two tone interior.... Either way, you're really going to enjoy the S!
