I just looked at Denver's Craigslist and the pickings are really poor.

According to the office cooler gossip, the 2001 is to be avoided because of 1st year model glitches - mostly electrical problems, not engine. With 91K miles, you are looking at a new Tbelt and tensioner soon (105K). It has the 5 speed tranny which is why there is only a W switch. W has nothing to do with "slip control" and everything to do with starting off in 3rd if you are on ice and don't know how to feather the wireless throttle.

A little higher in price than what you are looking for, and be careful about the title owner if it is a lease:

I really don't like to deal with car dealers, some of them don't tell the truth. But individuals can be the same way, so be careful.

Check out of state, a "day trip" might just be worth it.
