. I paid 20k for my 01' with 35k miles on it about a year ago. That's why this is a good idea.
okay, yeah, i guess it would be bad if you were to find an intact S with just a blown motor. i guess i just keep on seeing a 'shell' as something thats missing a tranny, diff, and a lot of electrical parts needed to get it to run. but hell, that sounds like a great idea, find a cheap blown motored S, and swap it
oh, and the US ap1 and ap2 have the same hp, the newer ones are just measured differently, the only difference is more torque
