i have found 2 X types i'm interested in both both have
things I want!!!.
first...2002 3.0 deep blue (i want blue)
cream interior ( I want black) 74000 miles, $5500

second....2002 3.0 sport. Silver...(not keen on) black
interior (i want)
116000 miles $5500

the door panels look much much nicer in the sport version
the deep blue of the first is much nicer than silver.
black interior looks much nicer than cream (IMO)

i know i should go 03 or newer, but budget can only afford an 02 :+(

HELLLLP

 

Go for the lower miles - 35,000 lower, in this case.
Sport makes you, you know, sportier, right? Actually, its not much of a difference - different wheels and a button that causes the transmission to shift at a slightly higher rpm than the non-sport mode. i think traction control os on all of em. So I'd probably go for the blue with 75 on the clock.

 

for looks id go with silver IMO. for service id go with the blue. being the same price its which you feel best with though

 

Lower mileage... especially on an 02

 

/\

what he said.

 

the lower milage is what i'm leaning towards...but still a week or two to keep looking :+)

 

lower mileage especially on an 02 as has been stated!

Personally I think that the blue with the cream leather interior is the biz, although the silver with black is probably more saleable.

Keep looking there's some good deals out there, check out Texas cars direct

 

#2 is what I have!

Go for the one with the best HISTORY and maintenance.

 

I agree. I'd go with the lower miles one. As a side note: I have an 03 x-type with a "sport" button for the tranny, but my car is not a sport.
