| thanks to you all who provided (relevant) replies; i do appreciate it. these forums are so valuable! i am getting a lot more comfortable in understanding these machines and the nature of a cpo auto. alas, i passed on the certified 02 i referred to in my original post primarily due to the fact that later years have more creature comforts as standard (tilt/telescope wheel, rear parking sensors, etc) than do the 02s. so my quest continues for an 03 or later. thanks again! |
