Default What do you advise?

Here's my situation. I can purchase a used 00 with decent mileage or pay a few grand more for a used 02. I know the 02's have the glass rear window but I was planning on getting a hardtop anyway. Are there any other differences, I heard something about a suspension adjustment. You input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

"02" also has leather center console not carpet, better clutch, better radio with tweeters, two horns instead of just one and on and on! Go with the "02"

Be sure to figure a higher resale for the '02 when you consider the comparative costs.

It's really a question that only you can answer, but if you can afford it; the 2002 would be the way to go.

The big change, if you can call it that, was between '01 and '02:

00-01 Radio

2002 radio is a newer design/more powerful and is silver

Also a minor change between the 00-01' and 02'
The metal placard on the doorsill is different.

00-01
