No, didnt trade my civic in. Sold it locally. Put it in the paper, guy came over to look at it and said he wuld buy right away.

Yes, I do love the car. Oh well if I paid a little too much. I'd be more pissed if my dad hadn't covered half of it.

In '03, Brembos came on Track models only.
As mentioned, leather seats can be added to any model with after market covers. I've seen a few Enthusiasts models with leather.
In 2003 17" wheels came standard 5AT. 18" were standard on 6MT.

Live in Cincinnati.

Blu Hvn - I do have a 6 speed MT and it is an 03 model. But the rims are clearly 17" says the tires.

Let the whole rims thing go. It has nothing to do with the trim. Half of the Tourings in 2003 and 2004 had 17'' rims. The quickest way to find out if you have a Touring is if you have heated seats. If you don't, then you've got something below that.

price is a little steep, but chit, you got her now might as well enjoy the car.

i got my '03 base in '04 for 21k (with 12k miles on the tach) So, yes you could have shaved a few grand off of it, but hell, the sales rep loves you now Enjoy your new Z, money is money, but the Z will keep you smiling.

I just bought an '07 touring and it doesn't have heated seats.

Ah yes heated seats... VDC is a good indicator, too. Don't be too influenced by what people on here say is a good deal and what isn't. Remember you are on the web interacting with people all over the world, and what is a good deal in one area is a rip off in another. When I was shopping for a Z, I would post some findings every now and then and everyone responded with much lower prices... but in ATL that was about average for what I was looking at. I ended up going to Houston TX for my Gc though... and saved $3K off of anything similar around here... Plus I got an LR.

I paid 22K for my 04.5 touring with 9500mi in NY

Thats funny if its true. In canada they are used to the cold so maybe the Touring gets no heated seats.
