We do pay a premium for our cars out here but we also don't have rust issues. I'm leaning towards the Westminster one I just wish the owner would reply to the questions I sent them.

#1 or keep looking. Service records are priceless...a lesson that I've learned the hard way.

You can always add a transfer case with the CDL if you want one. (Marty 'Drillbit' still has one left for $100+s/h over on D-web.)

Going to pick up the Westminster Edition one tomorrow. Head gaskets have been done in the last year along with having the heads rebuilt, brakes are new, tires are new and the person is only the second owner and has had it since early 2003.

Love my 02 SD (base model) and you will not miss the CDL. They are very capable even without it. Post a pick of the Westminister option. Must be fit for a King.

Ed - I think they call that "hoarding", when will we see your episode on A&E??? ....And eff, I can't remember when premium gas was under $3.00 out here.

Alex J - Congrats on your pending purchase....those Westminster Editions are super classy, post up some Rover **** for us when you get it!

I'll post some pics once I get it. I can't find any info online about the Westminster ones so it will be interesting to see what is different about them. They said it has nav and sat. radio.

FROM WHAT I'VE READ and seen online :There were only 300-ish made, upgraded interior with trim piping on the seats, suede accents on the doors, brush guard, taillight guards, and 18" rims similar to the newer HSE rims. I would venture to guess it has ACE and SLS too.

The Westminster seems to be the "ultra-lux" trim package.

I think that's an '04 cause I can only find people referencing either an '02 model year or an '04 model year Westminster. Those wheels are defiantly not the best, the ones on the '02 I'm getting look nicer. Plus the '04 D2's had the larger round roof rails. I'll try and start a photo blog for my '02 Westminster once I get it home.
