I haven't seen that M.E. up for sale before. And I'm sure I would have noticed as its the first M.E I've seen with a tiptronic... I thought they all left the factory with manual trannies.

I like how the seller has the color listed as "brown." From the lack of detail and wrong color listing, seller seems to be relatively clueless.

Mine is #135, bought just under a year ago. 138,000 miles but pretty well looked after by me and the PO, and with a new engine at 50k. I've given it a few mild tweaks but nothing serious since it's pretty much my daily. The steering wheel wood was wrecked when I got it, I hope to get it back from being refinished next week.

There's one other in my area that I know of, owned by Markar on here - beautiful condition with a supercharger. And didn't Jake (or Mrs Jake) used to have one?

Hi Guys, my millenium is #205 , JimmyB my car is tubocharged by TPC not supercharged.

Hey Markar, that is a sweet ride you have there. Its nice to hear from a long-time M/E owner. How many miles, and what area are you in?


How many miles did you have when you added the turbo kit?

Thanks for posting, fellas. Interesting that both of you are in Indianapolis, wonder if you two have ever seen each other. I think I would recognize another M/E's paint a mile away on a sunny day.

DWS - Have you dyno'd your car? What supercharger are you running? What tire/brake setup do you run on the track/street? Lol at "the usual".

These are great cars... I've owned two of them personally.

The faux wood interior is the first thing to go, then the coating on the wheels... Both of the ones I had were purchased after having a cracked cylinder head (Y2K syndrome) and I kept them for a while, then sold them. They have every option known to man!

Maybe you were getting it confused with the 40th Anniversary Edition - they were all manual transmissions.

Could very well be... I just thought all the ME's left the factory with the "same" configuration.
