Ebay number : 150300222586

just make a search with the number to see it.

It has the usual:
in dash clock,
tinted upper windshield trim,
map pockets,
remote release fuel door
along with:
yellow coolant,
traction control,
dinky spare tire,
and built on: 11/13/02

let me know if I missed anything else.

Someone should save the pictures along with the vin for posterity, or better yet, buy it and let us know what ever quirks it may have. :o

I didn't think "A's" had traction control??

I was looking at one that looked just like that this weekend. Was the spare a factory option or did someone swap it for that over sized donut?

Hence the term "decontented", a few "A"'s were different than the "B"'s when the production line was in transition, or so I'm told.

The dealer by me had three a few years back and I remember the ones he had all had chrome shifter bezels. I dont know where these fall in the grand scheme of things though, but that was around mid 2003 when I saw them.

Actually I believe POP POP Rauder is exactly as described and his is also a "deconteded" 2003 AKA transition between 300A and 300b for 2003


Sounds like a sweet ride:beer:

We've been calling them "pre-decontented 300Bs" The line switched to B once the traction control and mini spare were added, but the A features hadn't been deleted yet.

MartyO has a rare chrome shifter bezel.

I've just been calling them transition 300A's.

humm I can see what your saying but its the same thing but backward worded.

By the way how do you change the title of a thread?

A friend of mine is selling this one. OASIS didn't have much on it.
