Again I gotta stress Carmax, 2001GT 3800 series decked out sun roof upgraded sound suspension chrome rims black leather full electronic from seats to heated seats, they even give u a history report which u can back with an inspection of your own by mechanic or yourself. Mine was a fleet car for the 30k it has on it (not rental) for some major company so I checked it out to see if the guy had run it into the ground, found it still had the original tires and no work needed yet, they replaced a few rusted parts from LACK OF USE and other than that was in Mint condition sept for 4 lines forming on the leather on pass and driver side.

While they did the work on it they rented me a protege free and paid for the gas. They fought me on the parts and labor (of course) but in the end agreed. Id go there if your not set on buying a new car. Mine feels new and every time I get in I know it was a smart decision. Jus IMO anyhow.

About that, if you actually read my post, you would probably notice I made no mention to wanting an SC and in fact I stated I saw no point where I then stated I was looking forward to getting a turbo on it shortly.

OK, I've had my 04 for a month now. With 3000 miles on it and no problems yet. Knock on wood. When I bought my 03 a year ago, I had already taken it back to the dealer twice in the first month. I had every intention of keeping it for several years but eventually I realized that it wasn't going to make it. I think I got a good one this time. I'm gonna hold off on the mods for a while except for the Wiz CAI that I still have from the 03. I haven't figured out how to put it in the 04 yet. The intakes are a little different, but I'll figure it out as soon as the rain lets up a bit.

Any more info on this? My wife's GTP has a small place that has come up in the driver's leather seat and the dealer refuses to do anything about it.

I gotta agree with that "dumb" part. I won't go into the whole story, but I've had it with them. Dealers and service deptartments are always a POS, but this one beats anything I've seen before.

Anyway, thanks for the number.

Has anyone gotten the sunroof visor issue fixed?

I have had the car in for this problem, too. I think its the fact that the plastic visor is too thin...plus it has a black color so it gets soft in the sun or when exposed to warm air....

I wonder if there is an aftermarket replacement that is a bit thicker?
