Based on what I could see from the listing, it looks like a good deal.

I know what you mean about the L. I rarely have rear seat passengers, and the smaller model is easier to park in the city where I am regularly parallel parking.

I was going to tell you to see if it was part of the valve spring recall and then I checked the car fax and saw that it was done. So no worries there.

It's got NAVIFATION!!!! Very rare feature!

In all seriousness, peel off the fake wood (in my opinion) and you've got yourself a fantastic car at a great price.

Side mirrors are motorized, you can set to auto or with a push of a button fold them in.

I say go for it... It looks nice and clean. Look at it this way , in a few years you'll wonder why you didn't get the LWB. A LWB is definitely in my future. Not too much parallel parking here in GA.

LWB stands for "long wheel base"? waiting for dealer to get back to me

LWB...GS and LS should not even be discussed at same time. No disrespect to GSs..I like them but two totally different class of vehicles. I feel safe in my LWB and the inside room and comfort along with ride quality just doesn't compare

LWB together with the air suspension provides a really nice ride.
