What year/color did you get? I'm in the market as well and would be curious as to what they're going for. I'm looking at 2006 models with about 30k miles...

I'd have them check the airmatic suspension. That seems to be a weak point of sorts and it is a hefty repair price. I just had my right front replaced and if I didn't have an aftermarket warranty, it would have been on the order of around $1400 or so.
