Resale on them is crap, you can get a 2 yr old one with low miles for 7-8k. And i have seen some 01 and 02's for less than 5 with high milage. I would say that it is a nice car, just be prepared to be stuck with it till its paid off. It will mist likely depriciate 6-8 k in the first year.

Look at the outside of the caliper, one hole. When they drill the piston hole in the caliper they have to also drill through the outside part because the whole assembly is one peice. I see only one hole in the front, this = single piston= a obvious chop!
