Hi,
I'm still looking for a 05 or 06 6 speed and found an 05 with 14K miles. I asked the dealer to send me photos of the undercarriage since the dealer is in snow and salt country. The salesman assured me it had no rust which I believe is true from the attached photos but something else got my attention. The rear end differential appears to have a seal leak which does not look that bad but would like some feedback.
Since miles are low I also wanted to check on the tires which the salesman assured me were fine. Looking at the photos he sent, I'm having difficulty determining the age based on the DOT date since the last four digits after 2000 are supposed to be the week and year of production. Before 2000, as we know, there was a different one but this tire does not appear to fit that either. The tire appears to be mounted with the DOT info on the outside so I don't think that's the reason or did the salesman not send the photo of the correct area?
