I paid 25,5 before taxes and 500 BS delivery charge... 28000 out the door for a base 04 with aero. 750 for track wheels and tires. looking to spend around 1500 for BBK and will have close to a track model. Do not need VDC (whats the fun in that?)
Maybe get an LSD in the future but I do not drive it hard enough to mind a little wheel spin out of turns.

 

Buy from a private party if at all possible!!!!

I got my 03 base with 10500 mi for 21,900 because the guy was in the military and moving to Japan for a few years, and he had to get rid of it quick. There are plenty of deals like that out there. Just check the car out for yourself thoroughly and test drive it hard.
