    The stickers should be the same.

    The colour paint is the same no matter what year it is. Atlas grey did not vary. But after 16+ years the paint will have faded, so the lighter one has probably been out in the sun longer and had the paint fade on it.

    Yes they come with power windows (mine has them). As for the decals, one could have aftermarket ones on it. I know one of the decal kits I looked at on ebay had 5 silver stripes in the kit, where as its meant to be 4. Let me know what the difference between the decals are, could be a sign one has been in an accident and been repaired.

    When buying a car brand new, you can actually have certain options/extras removed or added. That would explain the differences in some features. For example, Ruby has no A/C.

    No A/C!!!! Thats rare. Does it have power steering? If not you might be lucky enough to own one of the magical fleet packs

    Haha, nah she's got power steering, FE2, the bigger brakes...

    the only thing missing is the A/C. It ws never there. There's no button, nothing.

    i thought the power pack was only an option (windows, mirrows and cruise on auto's).


    Also with the decals, they may have put them on upside down.

    I was a car salesman for about 2 years, and I reckon 3 grand tops. If its a dealer, crunch them on the price, and HARD! Explain it needs a respray, needs new bonnet, got no options at all etc etc, milk it. Really the only thing going for it is the kays, otherwise it sounds shabby.

    nah not worth 5g maybe 3500 if the kms are genuine but it can still run like a dog with low kms if it has been not looked after...
