You may want to have it checked out, the head gaskets in the 2003 are known to go out about at 150k miles. I have an 03 as well, just fair warning to you. By the nice looking car. Love the paint.

I know they're weeping oil. I didn't notice any coolant issues yet. I will probably pull the engine this summer and do them anyway.
The price was low enough that I would have bought it even if there was no engine in it. [smilie=boggl3y3dummy-ani.gif]

I now have 3 cars and drive a company vehicle for work, It probably won't be driven as much as I want too.

Are the window switches suppose to have back lights?
What about the cruise, fog, etc switches?

The switches have small green lights. In December 2016 I puled the dash and replaced all of the bulbs. I bought them from Ace Hardware for $.75 each.
