I think you should look for a 03 up and take your time looking for one because a better one will pop up taking it from my experience if i would of waited for 1 more month I would of got a better one

I had lots more trouble with my 2000 than my '03, which is pretty typical...an '03 won't cost you much more-hold out.

Good advice! look for a facelift model if the funds will stretch to it.

If owner has no receipts that tell you the timing chain tensioners have been upgraded run from this one, it will cost you.

Timing chain tensioners keep tension on the timing chain. If they fail and they will its a new engine. If they are replaced it will cost you anywhere from $1200.00 to $1800.00 depending on mechanic and what they are replacing. Thats why get an S Type with the 4.2 engine
