So, is this one pretty much what you have specifically? I noticed one had an upgraded sound system, although my experience the last time I upgraded the ergonomics of the flashy new unit is something I've cursed for the 10 years I've put up with it.

I may look a little more for a Graphite one as I will buy when I get what I want.

I may have time to drive by and take a look at it if you want. I was in a rush trying to get to a dismantler before closing and was in a different part of town, and just saw it by luck about 4:45pm today. Other than the interior color, that is the same as my car. I might be driving mine to Washington state this summer for the 7th annual Crossfire meet in Yakima. I won't steer you to or away from any, but I bought my white one mainly since it was in as new condition and I loved the Cedar interior. If I had my dream choice, it would be one of the blues, but I would want the Cedar interior, and not sure what all I would like it with. Test every function and after you come up with a price you would pay, deduct at least a couple hundred for every nitpick you can find. Also ensure you get both keys, even if they aren't fully functional. Figure about $250 to replace one from a vendor on this site or even more from a dealership. What ever you find, post about it on this site, you will get tons of good info on expected cost and complexity to repair. Check the interior bottom seal on the doors, they do rust there. One I looked at with 29K miles had it there. Worse case, use it for money off. These are not common cars, but basically only 2 options 6sp or Auto, and there are enough coming up for sale that you shouldn't settle in a rush.
