Not much information about the systems posted and I'm not savvy enough to know the equipment on a 2003.  However, if you are mechanically and electrically comfortable to repair yourself, and depending on the price , it may be a good buy.  I've always said, "if I couldn't fix my Newell, I couldn't afford to own it".  This site is a godsend and a wealth of information (Thanks Tom).  There are a number of us who will tackle about anything that needs repaired or replaced.  These machines are complex in that they are filled with many different systems but as individual pieces, not too complex.

It's all about how comfortable you are maintaining and repairing or how deep your pockets are!  And, I agree, the 2004 would be nice!
