bought the car in march of 2003. silver 2003.5 sedan with 101k on it now. the car has the bose stereo with xm radio that i put in, that includes running the wire from the radio to the trunk. i had the 3m clear bra put on the front bumper, the rear step of the bumper ,mirrors and light covers. the clear bra is now pretty much gone and scratched. hopefully it might be replace under the four year warranty. went thru at least 4 sets of front brakes and one set of rears. im on my second set of tires (not including snows). at 30k the 5 speed auto locked up and wouldnt shift right. they pulled the tranny and sent it back to the factory. they said they never seen one go bad till mine. since then it ran flawless. i pretty much do all my own work except for the tranny flushes every 30k. the fuel mileage averages about 20 mpg. the car still runs strong with some minor creaks but its liveable. two years i had a choice of running over a dead deer or hiting a suv, the deer lost. when i hit the deer it broke the plastic cover under the engine and knocked the o2 sensor line off. i repaired the plastic cover and brought it to the dealer for a new connector. other problems ive had all though not the fault of the car, was some one broke into it and stole my tom tom gps. they broke the window and bent the door frame a little. the glass was covered under the insurance but the door damage was $512.00, my deductible was $500 so i got a check for twelve dollars. repaired the door the best i could and touched up the paint were they chipped it. well thats all for now ill write again at the next major milestone.

 

Nice work. Keep us updated. I'm about 47K on my 2003.5 and running strong (except for those damn brakes).
