Meh, not a base...if it were a Limited then I'd say yes but all the luxury amenities in the '04 are going to be gone and all you're getting is a higher insurance premium and the top down for your money to blow away. You can easily find a '05 Limited Roadster for the same price and still get every option available. The 6 spd might be your only setback.

Look around you're bound to find a manual roadster somewhere.

Right in your alley if you like the Silvery Blue and 9K miles.
