I am going to look at a 2003 6spd max. Its got every option except for nav. It has 21k on it. Blue with grey leather. Hes asking $22,500 which is too high. Assuming the car is perfect, whats a good deal on buying it?

And btw, what are the differances, if any, between an 02 and 03? Thanks

 

$21K

 

$21K sounds about right. I payed ~$22.2K for a brand new one without leather + tax, etc.

 

does anyone know the differances between an 02 and 03? or are they the same exact car? thanks

 

Same exact car, only difference is on the 2k3 there were two new colors added and you the "Titanium Package" was also added in as an option.

 

I just bought a Glacier Pearl '03 SE with cloth and 26K miles for $17.6

 

Auto? Ex-rental?

6 speeds are harder to come by so they cost more. Plus, your mileage is outrageous and you don't have leather.

 

Auto, ex-hertz, no body damage (8-10 stone chips on hood), no interior stains, didn't want leather(pain to keep up in colorado's dry climate), still under warranty.
I just wanted cheap reliable transportation that was fun to drive. I've got too many other high-end toys that require time and money right now.

 

Shouln't pay more than $20K for a car that is not even a year old w/21,000 miles on it

 

You definitely got a good deal, don't get me wrong. But your car doesn't compare to a loaded, non-rental 6 speed.
