Its a heavy car i'll tell you that. I recommend a subtle drop if you care about body roll, I couldn't stand it. Some stuff you should check before buying such as exhaust rattle, rear sway bar squeaking (from the bushing) when driving long distance, popping noise in the heat core, popping from sunroof, bad batch of leather seats (cracks etc), vvel idle crack noise, and if you getting an automatic down shift rev match to 2nd works. All these issues can be fixed at the dealership.

Mine was brand new with 12 miles and I had some of those problems around 300 miles. I don't mean to discourage you on the purchase. Just wanted to give you a heads up on some forthcoming issues. $470 is not bad.

its a gamble with every new car purchase, i guess it depends on the car...how was your overall experience with the car other then those issues
