Looking at buying an SVT Lighting. 1999 vs 2004

The two options below. Both black. Both the same price. The 2004 has a hitch and the 1999 does not. Do all lightning’s come with a transmission cooler? What all comes with the towing package?

Does the 2004 have upgrades over the 1999 that are worth it? The big one for me is the spark plug threads. I’m assuming the 99 has the old shallower threads while the 2004 has the updated?

1999
Florida truck, minimal rust. 
96k miles 
All stock 

2004
112k miles 
Owner says it’s stock, but looks like it has pillar gauges, different air filter/intake, towing hitch on it, also has a chrome  bumper (assuming this was replaced and lightning all came with paint match bumpers). It’s a NE truck, not much rust but assuming slightly more than the 1999. I don’t think current owner speak English well and is hard to get more information. He did say it has new brakes.

Appreciate the help!

I must be the hottest sleeper ever. My mattresses all have a print of my body in sweat stains. I’m always hot, even in winter while my wife is freezing.

I’m a 200# athletic build late 30s dude. Wife is about 140#. We currently have a none brand name memory foam. It wasn’t the cheapest, but also wasn’t the best. My last few mattresses have been memory foam. They feel great, I’m just hot all the time.

I need a recommendation. I also have low back pain (many years in the army/paratrooper), and sleeping sometimes flares up.

Debating on the purple hybrid, but I’ve seen some bad reviews here.

Looking for a fun car to drive occasionally and wrench on a bit, but not a nightmare project. Found one pretty local for $7500, but build seems a bit off to me. Turbo to injector ratio seems a bit off and lean risk. And the whole base map is odd. But for some reason I see this a lot. If I bought a modified STI, I would most likely get it tuned by a reputable tuner anyways, unless paperwork from a well respected shop.

According to the owner, he bought for a fun car about a year ago. Build was from previous owner. He’s got pics of rods in the car, but no other documentation. Clear title. What’s the hives thought on this ?

2010 STI.

Clean title, 112k on the body 5k on motor

Hairline crack in windshield (happened today)

Full service just done 3/9/26

Cars on a base map should get tuned but has been driven every day since October!

- Built motor, came out of an 05 Sti.

- Eagle rods, eagle pistons

- arp headstuds

- Garret gtx3076 stock location turbo

- tial 44mm ewg

- Perrin turbo inlet

- Perrin front mount

- Cobb 850cc injectors

- DW pump

- spt exhaust

- Cobb catted downpipe

- short shifter

- Grimmspeed ecbs

- aem cai

- aem wideband

- Torque solutions motor mounts

- few other odds and ends throughout.

Currently on a good base map, car is daily driven so miles will go up!
