Yes, that is the one I looked at. This one also popped up a day later:
This one could be better. Might be in nicer shaper and if they ask for around 33k, I might go for it.

They are asking $32,950. If I can talk them down to $32k, I think I will take it over the black one. I am going to check it out tomorrow morning. Thanks for the input every one.

In M mode the transmission will be fully locked so pretty normal to feel some harshness on downshifts although hard to say if its normal or abnormal without feeling it myself

Checked it out this morning. Looks to be in good shape. Gunna take it to get a PPI done at an independent shop tomorrow hopefully. Thinking of skipping a warranty if there is no evidence of valley plate leak after the PPI. Does any one have experience with capital one? The dealer gave me a pretty good interest rate going through them. This is actually the first time buying a car through a dealership. Is there anything I should really pay attention to?

Documentation fees. Most say they are required but usually (or always) they are just a way to squeeze more money from you. So if you can avoid paying them or at least get them reduced it would be nice. I mean some charge $100-200 bucks whiles others want $500. This is separate from title and registration, those are fine and required by state

Ask about the FEES they charge. Make sure they break each and everyone down and explain why they are needed.
