That's cheap, but alot of miles. It's the 2003.5 and has a Navi... definetly a good deal.

Is it possible to buy an extended warranty through the dealer for this car? If you could, I would definitely buy it because I'm sure it will pay for itself. Decent price, I'd consider it

Ive got close to 60k and running just as strong as day 1. No burning oil or anything. I have gone through 3 transmissions though. Take a test drive and see if there is any grinding during shifting with spirited driving.

i just bought a 03.5 6MT from a used car dealer about a month ago. it had 39994 miles on it when i bought it. im having couple problems with it already. dont get me wrong i love this car and fell in love with it already. couple problems i have are... A/C doesnt work.... have to take that to the dealer... hope my warrenty covers that. and also im having problems with the clutch... maybe the first owner was a newbie manual driver. thats just the 2 big ones right now and im planning to take it to the dealer this week. i just have to pray that the warrenty covers it.
i think people will have problems with used cars always...
its really hard to find a car thats used and its good as new...
and i really dont trust buying things on ebay.....
so its all up to u.
its a great price but i wouldnt go for it.
just my opinion.

I have an 03.5 with 85K on it. Its runs great and still gets 25 mpg. I have no real complaints about it. Still on the stock clutch too. Its all good from me. I say get it.

Looks like its a toss up as far as reliability is concerned. But mainly it seems like the tranny on the 6MT is the only thing I should be worried about. I will test drive it tomorrow and report back how it feels

Thanks

the car seems to be in excellent shape, and that price is ridiculously low.

There is probably a reason for the low price. Have the history checked and the car checked by a pro. I don't think I could ever buy a car off ebay with all the fraud and cheap tricks.

i dont think the price is too low...cmon it has over 80k miles on it and an 03...you can get a new 06 for 27k without all the amenities though...16k for an 03...its reasonably priced...but i would still check the whole car out before buying it...

Do a complete history report on the VIN and verify all the electricals work. It could be a Katrina special. The price is $4-5K below what it should be.

^^^+1, buyer beware, if it's too good to be true, it probably is! Wonder if it has a VIN number?
