Try searching first, as alot of people ask questions like this.


That mileage isn't high at all for this car, but I would never buy a roadster with mileage that high. Mine was 5 years old and had 15,000 miles. Get my point? I did it because I can, because some people treat these cars like Vipers and never drive them. It's nice and there's never any mechanical problems with them. Sometimes they're priced a little higher but not always because it's usually from a private seller. Look around and wait for a good deal

I'd go with the 04, but try and get them down on the price a bit further. You can still find leftover (new) 07's for $27-28k, so you should be able to save a bit more on a four year old car.

That '02 seems priced a bit high, or is it just me? My '03 just hit 37K and I'd sell it for 20K in heartbeat (and buy a new one.)

I just found an 03 with 20000 miles for 18k I'm going to go check it out now. It's raining pretty hard it'll be nice to test drive it in the rain.

I would advise NOT to look at a car in the rain if it can be helped. Rain, and a wet car masks a lot of items that you would otherwise spot if it was dry. Also, the car does fine in the wet so long as you have self control.
