2001 S281
I have been looking at a 2001 S281 SC saleen yellow. It's a nice clean car it only have 21K miles one owner clean carfax. And I am thinking about getting rid of the ol' 99. I love my 99 but after thinking about the amount of money and work I would put into it my and my s/o think it might be better to just go with the s281. The stealership wants 19K. For my car to be where I want it I want f/i, some wheels, and some body work. If I did it myself I would be looking at a $3600.00 engine, $4000.00 f/i kit, $1200 in wheels & tires, and $4000 in body work. Which is all togeter about $13K on a $6000 car, with 112k miles. It seems to be even in price my car would have more power but also more miles. What would you guys do?

RE: 2001 S281
I say go for it if you like it. Even if you switch the engine on yours, the engine might have 0 miles, but the car still has 112k.Also, the resale will be much better for the saleen since it is newer with less miles and its a saleen over a GT.
