Thanks!!
WOW!! Im a little overwhelmed at all the great responses! I cannot begin to thank you all enough. Im a previous BMW owner, and that was one of the major reasons I left them and went to Lexus, because I felt as if I was getting ripped off. Like I said im new to this forum so im unsure on how to reply to some of the individual questions. Im selling the car because I commute around 170 miles daily, therefore if I keep a car to long I rack up way to many miles. I have been very fortunate in the past in buying cars at a good price and getting the majority of my money back out of them after putting around 50k on them. I LOVE this car, and probably wont ever buy another car brand again. Its loaded with everything but Navigation, its Matador Red with black leather, dark cherry wood, heated/vent seats, sport package, spyder upgrade rims, spoiler, and the dynamic front lighting system. Im asking 21,900.00 I hate to see it go but I think its time. I agree with all of the posts about letting them do it!! I have an appt next Monday to sit down with the service adviser, I think I might have a few choice words. I guess they see me being very young and in a relatively expensive car and they think they can "milk" that money out of me! Seems quite a few people believe that. WRONG! Not with a forum like this!! Thanks for all the help and advise!!

Check the Buyers thread from the FAQ, it contains my easy spotters guide so you can figure out what options your car actually has- best if you accurately describe it when you post it for sale.

There's no such thing as a "preferred sport equipment package" from the factory
There is a Preferred Accessory Package (no sport)- which is just Cargo Net, Trunk Mat, Wheel Locks
Knowing what the car actually has will be of considerable benefit when selling it.... especially if you don't want to post a misleading ad.
But basically if you have woodgrain you can not have the sport package (unless someone swapped the entire interior trim set from another car after it was purchased I suppose)
Simple way to see is-Do you have memory seats? If not you've just got the premium package. If you do have them, plus woodgrain, then it's the luxury package. Sport package would be memory seats WITHOUT woodgrain.
