R63 just popped up for sale in the Bay Area

Just saw this ad on Craigslist the other day:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/ctd/4627859876.html

I had the fleeting thought for a split second of picking it up (gotta catch them all!!), but I think this would be perfect for one of you guys that have been looking for a clean R63 lately. I am just a couple miles from this seller, so if anyone is serious about the car and wants me to check it out for them....

Just had an observation I wanted to throw out there about the car... the exhaust looks a little off kilter in one of the pics, which could be an indication of a previous rear end accident. I went ahead and checked the car's carfax, and it's actually got a clean carfax, with no record of any accidents, so there's a chance that either the car *was* in an accident, and it just wasn't reported to any insurance companies, or the exhaust might just be a little off for some other trivial reason. Or maybe it's a bad camera angle. Anyways, I've got the carfax for the car available if anyone wants it.

Hmm pulled the datacard and it seems like the only option missing is Distronic. But according to the brochure Premium III is supposed to include Keyless Go and Distronic. This car does have Keyless Go. I guess the brochure wasn't accurate as you could have KGO without Distronic.

Just curious, but can you describe the car a bit? I guess just the basics at least... color combo, mileage, perhaps asking price?
