Don’t be impressed by low miles. I passed on an unloved ‘98 with under 40,000 miles and got an 04 S with 120,000 for the same price. The 98 had torn seats, swirls in the paint, a discoloration in the dash a missing wheel cap and a clouded rear window. The 04 had a small door ding. Which one had regular oil changes? Easy answer.

+John Zebarth I agree! Cars that aren’t driven are also more prone to IMS bearing issues.

Just a minor correction...the '04 50th Anniversary car WAS available with a Tiptronic automatic transmisison.
