sorry i missed this thread jv...

you do want a 02 or 03 if you can get the right price on it.

when they switch oil grade they also did a cylinder rings change, hence the "need" for the top shelf oil.

like josh, chrisf and others said changes across the years were: the headlights got the angel eyes, the euro headlights have the clear side markers. nav got widescreen and dvd. dash got the gray face and silver gauge rings. steering wheel got the thicker m steering wheel. not much else...

otherwise there is not much different from the entire model lineup. not many options you can get as it comes fairly well optioned out. its a very stout car. heavy but handles itself very well. engine has been bulletproof but may eat a oil. mine didn't but i change oil pretty often with the track days i put in so i never saw any oil lost.

my advice would be to get it.... i love that car!!!! that goes for you too kevin!!!!
