I hear you Larry. I wish I was in your shoes searching. I have had the bug to upgrade in the past month or so.
I love car shopping. Take your time and you will find the right car soon

Larry-
Noy sure if you saw the one I posted up for you. Post #15.
It's right where you want in terms of equipment, miles and price.
Blue the wrong color?
Good luck with your search - David

I DID see the post. That is the kind of referral I'm looking for, a car that I wouldn't know about otherwise. It is a pretty car, well equipped, and in my price range. I am talking to them, and have negotiated a bit on the price. None of these guys are willing to move much on the cars. But, that being said, the really nice ones that are in this price range don't last long.
So far, you're the leader of the band. Thanks for the sharp eyes.

Kent:
I've looked at this car. It isn't as clean as it seems. First, grey/grey is just boring, but the price and mileage look good till you look a bit deeper. Look at the pictures of the cockpit. The driver's seat looks like the leather is cut in the middle of the bottom cushion. In addition. the buttons are missing from the seat controls. Someone wasn't taking care of this car. That, in addition to the fact that the car was in an accident in March, 2008, and has had 4 owners.
Just too many things to make this car a viable candidate. But thanks for showing it to me.

Pas: I am always concerned with any car that I see for sale with 5 or more owners, and some who owned it for 2 - 3 months. Someone is trading out their problems - want to avoid that.
RE: The speed yellow 2002 in Michigan. The guy is the second owner, wants $46.5 K for the car with 37K miles. Sounds not so bad, but then he says that the secondary air pump is not working, but that the car runs just fine without it, and that he was told that it didn't need replacing. I told him if that was the issue, I would want it fixed, so take $4K off the price. He said he would rather keep it.

Larry -
Check out this section from Excellence magazine, a buyers guide for Turbos.

As you will see there are some differences between years from 2001 on. Thought this might help in your decision making.
