I'd look elsewhere to be honest!

Replacement box and engine with only 80k? Fishy!

Rear tow eye is missing.

Door cards are standard 02 jobbies.

Nick.

I am pretty sure I have seen that car at a meet. I remember it because I thought it's reg plate was pretty cool at the time. I have just taken a look through my pictures to see if it appears but alas no. I have seen that plate though...

ok thanks guys for your input

are the tweeters in the door cards non standard or a factory option?
the door cards dont have a red trim pannel to match the red seats, is this correct? (it has red seats and carpet)
should the door cards have the small pockets on the door?

circular tweeter in the door card are standard on an 02. The colour combo is a little odd though. I would have expected there to be a a red perforated leather bit in the door. Yes they should have small nets in the door.

IIRC, they introduced an improved 2nd gear 3-cone synchro. So improved in fact, they replaced many boxes under warranty...

What's the mileage gotta do with blowing up an engine? I've done it @ 40K...
