Using the search feature for "Platinum Edition", I came across this right away.

I recall there are different levels of the Platinum edition for the 2000 GS:

*HID headlights
*seat warmers (now a standard)
*16" Platinum wheels and better tires
*perforated leather seats
*black chrome badging
*Platinum edition floor mats
*Walnut wood trim
*better audio system
*free for a year - Platinum American Express Card
*etc.....

Im sure there's a bit more.

Pete

Talking

Methinks that if you are "close to a purchase", you've started your research a little late and are in serious danger of getting hosed. Step back, take deep breath.......eager buyers make sellers VERY happy.
