One wolf, have you test drive it yet? Is there anything you don't like about its driving? Try it on some bumpy road and see how the air suspension works. I tried 3 2010 with air suspension. All air struts are in mediocre status and feel worse than regular suspension.
how long has that guy being selling the car? He knows some people are willing to pay high price for very low mileages. Only time will soften him up

I think I'm one of those guys you refer to who is willing to pay premium for low miles. This car has had less than 4k miles put on it per year and spent the rest of its life in a garage.
You are right that time will soften him up, either that or somebody else who likes this model and puts a premium on low miles will buy it. I think for this car, this mileage, the trim and color I want (black), it's not worth risking just to socket over a couple thousand bucks.

I have to say I don't like that 2 tone look. I swear the pictures of the one I'm looking at the contrast is not nearly that stark. Are all the 2010 sport leather colors the exact same or might it be a little different than this?

Air suspension disqualifies this car in my opinion. But if your hung up on the interior maybe that overrides that one for you. I don't like the two tone but to each his own. Paying up for what you want isn't bad I guess. If you don't drive a ton of miles you can get a car under $20,000 with about 50k more on it that will be as nice, maybe 2007/2008/2009.

It it is a little bit hard to drive 2 hours to see the car and arrange a trusted garage to inspect the car near the buyer's place and drive back for another 2 hrs.

it's very, very tasteful (IMO of course) and is subtle.

Got it, love it.
The seats have no 2-tone appearance at all - they look black basically although you can tell there's a brown undertone if you look real hard. They look great.
The car is awesome. Thank you for having me in the club!

congratulations! The sport models are relatively rare. I'm sure you're going to love it.

The only two things I wish it had was adaptive cruise, and blind spot warning (not sure this was an option in 2010?)
Is there a well-known set of cheap blind spot curved mirrors available on amazon that fit well on the 4th gen side mirrors?

I was just reading about the Sport Model, and saw that it had downshifting rev-matching with the paddles when in sport mode. I had convinced myself the sport model wasn't much. I take it back! I would LOVE to have that feature on mine. If my car were needed to be replaced, I would try to find a sport. The trim enhancements look great to me also. The downshifting would sound BADA$$ with the Exhaust Vents. That's one of the areas that just sounds amazing with the vents ... when the car is slowing, from about 40 mph to 0 mph, you can't believe how good the exhaust note is. Not loud at all, just sounds awesome. With the paddle shifters and shifting it down, that would have to sound INCREDIBLE. Oh well, live and learn.
OP - I hope you bite and buy it!

In sport/manumatic mode this applies.
