i found an 03 with only 29k miles for a pretty good price $16k but i think i can talk it down. but after reading about the common oil consumption and the leaky valve cover im kinda hesitant..is it that common? im kinda scared cus if i do buy it its something i plan on keeping for a pretty long time and i hear these cars are not cheap to fix

 

for $16k you can easily find an 04.. with low miles.

 

oil consumption issues were only occurring with the REV-UP motors which only came on + 6mt's

there were very very rare occasions where the 03 and 04 models had this problem. let me say again that it is very rare!

 

i have a 03 with 65k miles and have no problems at all

 

05+ has rev up engines. But 16k for an 03 coupe is a rip off.

 

^^wat about the oil leaking in a valve cover into the spark plugs issue?

 

wat would be a good price? when i kbb i got somewhere between 14-15k which was wat i was gonna offer

 

I have 05 with mods already to go just got new tires lets talk.

 

16k is way too much for an 03 even with low miles. Offer less than the blue book, I've been looking around for G's and no one ever sells for KBB value. Spend just a little more and try and find an 04 with low miles

 

Back to this question "wat about the oil leaking in a valve cover into the spark plugs issue? " Is it an issue with a 2003 and up that comes with automatic?

 

it can be an issue in any year G... some have it some do not.

 

$15,000 would be the right # for a 29K mile car if it's all original and has been properly maintained. Regardless, have the car inspected by someone you trust.
