Looks to be in excellent shape, aside from the flaking leather on the steering wheel - someone's ring must have been sharp. What options does it have? Is it all stock?

Be careful!!! When I got my 03 MCS 4 weeks ago, it was going to stay stock. Well, a good deal on having the one-ball exhaust done, then a good deal on an ALTA CAI(which I love the sound of and can't believe the difference), and now my 15% SC pulley, I am addicted to this car. I just want to keep buying things for it and coming up with any excuse to drive it. Careful or it could happen to you.

Congrats!!

Look up the info on the Power Steering problems and make sure the fan works properly. If not there are fixes and also rebuilds and replacements of the PS fan/pump.

Happy Motoring...
