haha!! It looked mint! The exterior is A+ and it had the blue interior! Looked pretty good on the inside, i think this one might be a steal!! Don't know about mileage!!

Edit: you figured out the mileage by the time I replied!!!

got a closer look at the car while it was up in the air getting its oil changed at northpark service...

there's a minor impact on the front bumper, and the unpainted trim piece on the rear bumper was color-matched. didn't get a look at the interior, but otherwise, seemed in pretty good cosmetic shape.

brand-new fuzion tires, too.

also, I think I saw noah today. yellow ap1, no exhaust, with a black hardtop and a "eat, sleep, jdm" sticker.

That S was sold last night to my friend Bill and his lovely wife Judy!!! Northpark explained the damages! The first owner was hit @ 17K, but the car has been well maintained and accident free since then! It spent about a year at Crystal Lake (Galveston??) so he was worried about minor rust. Its getting checked out at Benson today!
The Blue Interior is Excellent Condition from what I hear!! It has a new top with glass! They were both hesitant that it was a 2002, but after driving it and getting a feel for it he loved the rock solid suspension among other things, hasn't quite enjoyed Vtec yet and he complained about a little Understeer, compared to his supercharged miata! Bill never thought he would actually like driving the S!

Bill Races his 14/15 year old supercharged miata at track events in Dallas, Ft. Worth and College station. He decided it was time for a change! He was in the market for a 350Z, he test drove one at Ancira. Immediately after he was done with the Z, i gave him the keys to my S!! He's never looked back at the Z!! It wasn't suited for his driving taste!!

Hopefully I'll be able to get him out on s2ki and maybe even to some drives and some autoX!

Understeer may be corrected with just a good alignment and better tires. I don't think those "Fuzion" tires are all that great.

I know they're not great, but they're decent for commuter/spirited-driving

Hisham, if they want to get new tires and sell their rears, let me know since they match my front tires
