well, my dad owns his own auto shop in NC. and I was thinking about getting it, and letting him fix it back to new for me. but, the thing is it already has 172K miles.. that's alot.. I'm debating rather to get a fresh one, or a wrecked one and fixing it up..

Considering that it has 170K+ miles on it and wrecked, do you honestly think it's a good idea to get it?
Ive been looking at these for the past few months. Ive seen everything from 14.5k all the way up to 25k for 00-03s.
You really pay for what you get, especially with cars that are meant to be driven hard. Look at the previous owner if it's a private sale. If it's in immaculate condition with full service papers and stock condition, would you pay 2-3k more?
If it's from a dealer, chances are a salesperson has taken it out. They may not have warmed up the engine properly. You don't know if the previous owner has continually topped off the oil (this car burns a bit), what type of gasoline. A lot of variables.
What about an 06 or 07, they come so well equipped for daily driving now. The price is awesome.
