After a long search, I have located a nania airway lx. The price is right - $59.00 on clearance. The only reservation that I have is that the manufacture date is 09/30/2002. It is brand new in the box. What are your thoughts on purchasing a 2 year old car seat?

If it's the seat I want/need, then I look at the discount. Does the price reflect the shortened life span & the need I have? If so, I'd go for it. Just be aware that the lifespan is shortened, because the seat does expire after a certain number of years (off the top of my head, I don't know what Nania's limit is - probably 6-8 years), and you're already almost 2 years into that.

Ulrike's dead on...it's good for 7 years!
If that's the seat you want and works in your car and with your child, go for it.
