If I were to upgrade I would get the warranty as well. One watch out is 03 is the first year of the new chassis. As with all other cars that have a drastic change the first production year is always filled with quirks. I have read several posts on this year model having issues with the top sqeaking, leaking water, and water pooling in the storage compartment and rusting. I would make sure you have the service records and check for warranty repairs concerning top issues. Please post pics and welcome aboard if you pull the trigger.
