Default Dealer having some trouble finding my GS

Should know today if my dealer can find a Starfire Pearl/Black GS 350AWD with NAV/Mark Levinson.
The ML option seems to be the problem.
If they can't find one, I'll have to wait for an '09.
Any rumored changes on an '09?

Have you listen to the stock system and the ML back to back? Unless you have DVD music, they are pretty close in sound quality. I bought a CD to the dealership and listen to them both back to back for 20 minutes and decided on the stock system.

I love the ML system.
I did listen to both.Yes,not a super difference but enough for me to want the ML.
I really don't want to settle after paying so much money for this car.
I kicked my self for not getting certain options with the IS.I don't want to make the same mistake at $17K more.

Yes, by all means, do not settle for anything less.

Get the ML, it has other stuff like DVD playback, parking sensors, etc. Its not just the audio playback.

took me about 2 months or so to find that exact combo but in 460 form, good luck

we are lucky that they are mass producing white on black for 2008, almost impossible to find in previous years.

Yep,that's what I was told about the White/Black combo.
The ML option is making it difficult too.
