Did the same thing over 3.5 years ago. Even bought a round trip airfare to Dallas just to verify it was "the one." Meticulously cared for then, and this continues today. Have added about $4K in enhancements since then and I'm still WAY ahead of the game versus what I would have paid new. Buying used also meant that I didn't cry when that first rock chip appeared.
Has all of the Series 3 updates...pays to do LOTS of research before you buy used, especially what is perceived to be an 'earlier' car (circa 2000). The far majority of people that approach me just drool over the deep red skin and ask me "Is it a real one?"
