it had to happen , a Sub $30k S2k

if you look at the rear lights , the right side has the updated 03 rear lights with the chrome highlights , whereas the left side has the pre 03 lights . Might have been in a rear end ?
You would really need to see the car in the flesh to see what condition it really is in. If its all legit , then it would be a good buy .

Nice find pechs2k. No skin off my back though. I don't understand why so many people are complaining about their cars losing value. Spare a thought for those who bought new like Aus, RR and myself. We haven't even blinked. It's a car. It'll depreciate.

The only problem with the car getting lower in price is that it's getting within reach of young heroes who'll crash and burn (both the car and their mouths).

good eye there vuey, i noticed the same thing when i shower "wazarider" a few days ago...it does seem a bit sus, it's almost as if you could tell it had an accident in 03 or later...i hope those are flies on the bonnet...the drivers seats looks like it's in good condition, relative to the cars age.

that brake light that the car has on the right is an 03 model tail light, it's basically the same as the ones before it but it has chrome rings around the lights, so it should just fit in easily into a 99 model

I believe u need to cut holes in the metal to fit 04+ tail lights from what i've seen people do on the forum

They have a different light pattern altogether. So the protrusions through the panel are different.
