Looks like a great car with some nice options - illuminated SS door sills, multifunction steering wheel etc... Can't tell if there are crests in the seats on not. But great color.

That's a good price! The only thing I don't dig is supple leather seats. Not a deal killer though.

Looking at the carfax it looks like the first "owner" was the dealer since it is listed as a corporate car. Just speculating but many times dealership owner's keep a high end car for personal use for a year or so before selling them. It then looks like it was sold to another dealership (owner 2) and offered for sale which took about 8 months. Seems like owner 3 was the first private party owner and they had it for 2 years before turning it in off lease. 4th owner may be the most recent dealership but it is hard to decipher this car fax.

I would obviously get the car checked out with a complete PPI and a CPO or an aftermarket warranty is a must for any of these car IMO. If everything checks out and the price, options, color and condition are right then I would go for it.

Great looking car, although I would prefer sport seats.

Agree, lack of adaptives is a deal breaker for me too.

Adaptives? I've had both. The issue with the standard seats is not driving around town but more when you get on the twisities. During a spirited run you'll find yourself rolling out of the standard seats as you yank yer car around a corner. You'll be plastered against the door, reaching over trying to stear through the corner. The apdaptives are way more supportive with their side bolsters, a noticeable difference. I would not not go back. They cost more for a reason. I believe they are better. It's a deal breaker for me too.

My 2 cents (CND), which is worth more now than the USD. So there you go!

They just look nicer and give your back a nice hug. If you are a FAT ***** then get the sport seats, cause you are not fitting in the adaptive seats.
