Some say it's the best looking year for the STR. I am biased but agree it is a good looking car. You still get the Brembo brakes, FWIW. I think that year still has the hood mounted windshield washer nozzles which to be honest, makes wiper blade shopping so much easier.

Yes, Bad Cat is correct...hood mounted washers and easy wiper replacement. My '03 is a beautiful car and runs like a top. Check with Kelly Blue Book to be sure you're paying a fair, not inflated, price. The low mileage is a definite plus. Dive in!

I agree, if the mechanics check out, buy it. I've owned an 03 STR and now own a 05 STR and the 03 in my opinion looks better. Plus you couldn't have picked a better color, its what i would get if i could find one lol. 60k miles for an 03 is very low. My 05 is at 57k for comparison.

I bought my 03 STR in October, 2010, with 55k miles or so. It now has 85k miles. I have had nothing but smiles putting on those 30k miles. I def encourage you to buy it!

As others haved noted, check to insure it's in good mechanical shape, not abused, and get it at a good price. I agree BRG is the best color!
