"Value" is something that is kind of hard to get universal agreement on among RR owners I think. IF you mean "resale" then it really depends on a lot of factors that apply to all cars (condition, mileage, extras, under warranty still or not etc), but theortically a 03 with the same variables is going to be worth more than an 02. If you mean "personal satisfaction" value, then that is a very personal question and depends on your taste and what you plan to do with it.
I have the 02, and it is very very nice, and to a certain extent I hear some of the mechanical issues were worked out in this model. Mine is under warranty still with low mileage. I do not do much (well, any) off-roading, and wouldn't since the car is too beautiful and scratching it would kill me. (So you see where I am coming from and that I have babied it).
The 03, from what I have read, is bigger, and is quite a bit different internally and externally than the 1996-2002, which really have the same look and feel. So, I think it is a matter of which body style you like, your budget, and the condition you can find it in, as well as whether she is still under warranty.
I am thinking of upgrading to the 2003 or hopefully 2004 personally, but if you want a great 2002, mine's for sale and I can send you photos. Let me know.
