Wow thanks for the all of the info! Again the car is in great shape from what I can see, 55k, dealer service etc but I think you guys have scared me in to the 04-06, so I will start looking there. They are asking 15k plus it would be almost 900 to ship (FL to CO). Having troubles finding one local in Denver, I'm sure the rear wheel drive hindered the sales in CO. Back to the drawing board, i'm sure something good will show up in time.

Quick questions:
1. Most seem to have the brownish "wood" trim. The one I was looking at had more of a gray "wood". What is that called and is it harder to find or only available in select models?
2. Can the Nav be replaced with a more modern touch screen or modified to be more useful in 2017? Cant decide it I look for one with out Nav or try to upgrade the Nav.

Thanks again guys, hope to be able to join the ranks soon.

I have never purchased a car sight unseen. For the last car I purchased out of state (2010 XK Jaguar) I got on a plane to PA from Florida and spent an entire day checking the car over from morning till night (literally). I ultimately purchased it and had it shipped in an enclosed carrier back to Florida in 3 days. Let me mention that this car only had 4,800 miles and I still needed to see it before spending that kind of money. That's me and I'm happy to this day for my OCD and thorough inspection. If I can't touch the car, I'm not buying it.

there is a white one in Colorado Springs that has no navigation and under 100,000 miles. $14,995 and selling slowly on carsguru. it has the maple wood. a lot have the walnut. I do not know what the gray wood is called. a gold one in Denver has less miles, but shows an accident and has the Navigation that I would not desire. the walnut wood looks red and the maple looks golden. I did buy mine sight unseen, hahaha. it was 125 miles away.

Yeah Briarwood is known to have that effect on normally sane people. LOL almost bought a B-wood LS even tho the car had a long list of repairs needed. Considered parking it on my front lawn and sleeping in it. My wife has been very patient w/ my LS activities but doubt the LS (Luxury Sleeper) would have been acceptable. There has to be a limit somewhere. She's ok with my comments while we're watching Netflix. "Oh look there's an 04-06 LS over there in the background. It's Cypress Pearl too. Wonder which model it is. Think the timing belt has been changed?"

A little OT but I went with my dad and he bought a 2017 car today. No sales pressure, really give the salesperson credit. edmunds said he could get on avg 2,200 off, I did the price promise thing for him (it's a scam but you can see what's possible) and I used my google voice tel# (you bet messages left all day long). He ended up with $5900 off list, and then I said if it were me, I would want the $195 pin stripe and $199 vin etching removed from the price too. They removed it lol Since the car had 20 miles it must have been test driven 2X. Just funny how my dad will have all those features, 4G LTE built in, push to start, auto stop start, high res screen, the instruments are actually a screen behind it seems, etc. Makes me want to get a new car, but nah, I know I won't anytime soon, maybe 1 more in my lifetime....my buddy recently said don't compare yourself to others....
