I agree on seeing the car first.

And test driving and looking and test driving some more. And then negotiating.

During my search I went to see many cars. At least 20.

You need to see the car in good daylight and if interested test drive it more than once at different times.

It takes allot of effort to find the right car.

for example:

One 05 with 5000 miles looked great in the pictures (as expected) and I was excited. I test drove it and found that there were numerous large scratches on the back rear panels.

Another 06 with less than 10000 miles was had long scratches on the hood.

Another 05 with 20K miles had the most worn out controls I have ever seen.

I finally bought on an 05 with 39000 miles. Yes, the most miles of any car I test drove. It does not have one scratch on it. Not one. Honest.

The interior is impeccable. My wife was is a interior designer type can't believe the way the car looks.

The only issue is a very slightly warped spoiler which will be replaced soon by the dealer at no cost to me.


Take your time, let them know you are seriously searching and ready to buy the right car at the right price.

then pull the trigger when you are ready and have fun.
