Bring a pen and you checkbook. The Black SS is a winner.

The link for the 03 didn't work for me. But was able to check out the black 04 SS. It seems likea good choice. Couldn't help but notice that it's got the LS rims on it. Previous owner must have swapped 'em.

I would say go for the 04. It's younger, less miles, and has the heated leather seats you like.

The 04 looks like a good enough deal. Very few miles too.

Between the two, I'd go for the 04 without even thinking about it.

The '04 either ISN'T an SS, or the wheels have been changed. WHY? ???????
Blue interior in a black SS? I don't think so! I'd SERIOUSLY check this out! My guess is that this is an LS badged as an SS, so you don't have the same suspension, and possibly not the same brakes and other important items.
Get the VIN and go to a GM dealer and have the service manager do a build sheet on it to SEE if it's an SS, and what features are REALLY on this car. They will do this for free.

I see you are near cental New York. I got my Monte from this dealer. Here is the link. It was well worth the trip to Rochester for my car!!! The price you see is the price they sell at. No negotiating, and seemed like good people.
