If its a lease return you might want to be careful about it. People that tend to lease their cars and end up not keeping it will not take care of it. They are really "renting" the car and most of them dont keep up with maintenance and they use bad gas....arco.

this might be a problem. But of all the cars, the White/Tan is the best combo. Beautiful car. So get a mechanic to check it out first - this goes for whichever one you buy. Or get a warranty of some kind. Also, avoid farmers in the future!

it's so interesting when I see this thread. I am also looking these 3 out 4 cars that you found and thinking myself which one I should get.
maybe we should hire a mechanic to test these 3 (white, yellow, blue) and share the cost .. lol

*update*
so turns out once they posted the price of $11988 for the 01 silverstone it was sold within a couple days.
i made an appointment to see/ drive the white 01 with 35k, but the person that looked at it before me the same day bought it!
as of friday the triple blue and white/ tan are still available.
i saw a triple blue ap2 the other day in person, and as classy as the white/ tan is i think i might have to go with the triple threat based on price/ miles.. and from what i read on some old posts everybody that thought they couldn't deal with seeing blue day in and day out really loves it now.
at this point i'm just waiting on the title paperwork to go through on my last s2k and for farmers to pay the loan off. they'll be sending checks to my bank for that previous loan and to me for the excess. soon as that comes in i'll be ready to buy!
and yes, it was totaled by farmers.
